Welcome to MyBigFive.com! The purpose of this site is to help you fulfill what we call, your Big Five for Life.

The basic concept is pretty simple. Once you register, you put in five things that you really want to DO, SEE, or EXPERIENCE in your lifetime. Five things so important, that if you do, see, or experience them before you die, then you will feel that your life is a success. They can be one time events, like watch sunrise from the top of Mt. Kilimanjaro. They can also be longer term things, like have an amazing relationship with your significant other, or kids.

The choice is yours. The possibilities are endless. This is all about what’s most important to you in your life.

Once you post your own Big Five for Life, then the fun really starts. For example;

• You start tapping into the power of intention. Just by posting your Big Five for Life, you’re letting the universe or God, however you define it, start to help you. You can’t get what you want, if you don’t know what you want. Click here for an amazing story about intention.
• Your friends will have a clear idea of what you’re trying to do and how they might be able to help. Many times we think people close to us know what we’re working towards, but unless we specifically explain it - they don’t.
• If you also put in what’s holding you back, or any help you need, as people browse the site, if they can help you in some way, they’ll send you a message with a tip.
• You can search through other people’s Big Five for Life, including the one’s they’ve completed. This will provide you with inspirational stories and ideas for how to make your Big Five for Life a reality.

Another field you can fill in on your personal profile is major AHAs in your life. Share the books, movies, and events in your life that really inspired you, and you’ll inspire others. Read about other people’s AHAs, and you’ll get inspired.

The whole idea here is that this is a community of people helping each other live amazing lives. One inspirational thought can pick you up when you’re about to give up. One tip can completely eliminate someone’s “huge obstacle.”
