    I can't keep up at the moment with the challenges altho I do want to!!! It is a good one.... I did a youth talk on that topic recently so quite interesting for me!

    I really can recommend writing it down, it makes you concentrate and dream more :). I have a notebook which I use on a daily basis to write my thoughts, things to google (I'm quite nerdy, if something interest me I google it ;) ), money things,etc, and I have a page now for Mr Big's challenges.

    I think I might be scared of the answers, so am burying my head in the sand a bit. That possibly sounds a bit mad :cool:
