It reminds me of the success of that girl that wrote the "In the New" blog about her journey to do 365 new things during the year. And also the "Eat, Pray, Love" author who traveled around for one year to three different locations to find herself. A friend from high school is doing a very neat 365 photo project where she takes pictures every day and posts them on her blog and facebook.
Seems that everyone that takes on a Year-long project like these are subsequently completely wiped out by their experiment. There is some breakdown and some crappy "just get through it" type of thinking, which who blames them -- doing ANYTHING for one year, every day is super, duper hard! Does everyone have to do something like this in order to grow as an individual? Hell, I've considered doing projects like this. It's not that I don't have the commitment, I do. But the concept of making the time for a project like this ... seems so difficult. You have to be committed! It's almost like practicing a religion or meditating daily for these people. Maybe it's the challenge they enjoy too!
The fact that very few people have EVER done something like they do. But then when you reach your goal of 365 days of said activity, most of them don't stop! They just say "yay!" and pat themselves on the back but the search for that type of effort remains with them forever!
Amazing!
