1) Single and Living

"I have always been a list person. I make lists for everything. SuperViva allows me to share with others what I would like to do as well as what I have already done. Plus, it allows you to find other ideas out there that may have slipped your mind. I have accomplished some of the things I put on my list since signing up for SuperViva. Actually, two weekends ago I was able to accomplish two things on my list that have been nagging at me forever: I rode a motorcycle for the first time and shopped at IKEA! Those might seem like small goals, but it's usually the little things that make life exciting.

Your site came at a wonderful time in my life, timing couldn't have been better. I recently broke up with my fiance of 3 years. While I was in the relationship, I allowed myself to push my goals on a back burner because I would rather spend time with him than pursue my goals. Since then, I have really evaluated where I would like to go in life, what I have to contribute, and the things I want to do and see. SuperViva has helped me accomplish this by allowing me to organize these goals into one spot and make me feel great when I do accomplish a goal."

3) Finding Herself

"I met my husband on the internet and moved to to be with him. I totally left my life behind for my husband's life and in just a few short months I slipped into a very dark depression. I could not tolerate all the cows I had as neighbors so we moved back closer to the West coast so I could get back to how my life used to be. It was very hard for everyone because for most my life I tended to inspire those around me to be happy with what they have.

How I found your web site is very funny because I was applying to be a contestent on 1 vs 100 and you have to show them in a video what you would do with a million dollars. I emailed over 300 people and it was disturbing to hear how ASLEEP everyone is in life. So I set out to make the most incredible top life list and found yours. I CANNOT EXPRESS ENOUGH TO YOU HOW MUCH IT IS HELPING ME WITH MY DEPRESSION. Each idea I put onto the web site reminds of something or someone from the past and to actually sit back and look at all I have done is GREAT THERAPY FOR ME!!!!!"

4) Overcoming Depression With a Vision

"I'd like to tell you how much I love SuperViva and how much it has helped me. I suffer from severe depression, which I have for 6 years, and most recently public panic disorder. This has made leaving the house and doing things I enjoy almost as impossible as visiting the Antarctic. Since finding SuperViva I have found it easier to get up and motivated in a morning, I am always unsure what the day will bring but you can guarantee it is fun and productive. I have managed to stay off antidepressants and feel like I have made the most progress towards recovery in the entire 6 years.

"Since joining I have created 4 websites, put the initial steps into starting a home business, started a community newsletter and enrolled on that life coaching course I've always wanted to do! I don't really know why SuperViva helps. I guess that having it written down in one place where I can access from anywhere and it won't get lost / forgotten about / drawn on by the kids, means I visit it throughout the day and it is always in my mind. I also love how it makes you realise all the great things you already have achieved in life such as swim with dolphins and get married and have children."

"Although I feel like at the moment I really need to concentrate on those types of goals that help you discover yourself, eventually I'd like to use SuperViva to help me realise much bigger dreams and maybe I will visit the Antarctic!"

5) Motivated to Complete a Screenplay By Writing It Down

"For years I've wanted to write a screenplay. Every time I see a movie I really love, I'd say: "I wish I'd written that!" I've even had partial outlines (plus one complete outline) for several movies sitting in my computer for about seven years now. The feeling that I HAD TO check off that SuperViva ultimate goal was what stopped me from even considering flunking out." read the full story

Feel Good Quotes

"I have to say that SuperViva really helped me get through a rough spot in my life. The mid 40's crisis hit me like a ton of bricks. Somehow I found SuperViva and started adding a few goals. Then I started to notice people hoping to do things that I had already done. I started checking off those things and pretty soon I realized that I had done a lot in my life. It really helped me change my outlook on life. For that I thank you." - Wayne

"This web site has allowed me to reflect upon who I was, who I am and who I will be. Life is grand!!!!!!!!" -Birgitte

"I wanted to build a snowman this year and was putting it off. We had one last snowfall and because it was there on my life list I got motivated to go out and do it. It's like SuperViva made that last snowfall come!" - Patty

"I think your site is great. It's really making me realize what a fabulous life I have lived so far. I've been recording the things I've already done, and wow—what a lot of wonderful memories I have!" - Michelle
