I am happy with what I have now, materially, financially, spiritually and emotionally. My family is great, I have a good husband, a witty daughter and good extended families. However, I could say that there are things which I need to achieve yet. one of which is to pass the Bar Examination in order for me to become a lawyer. How about you, what the things that makes your life incomplete?

yes, i have yet to find a partner in life. i am still single. i think a family with a child or two and a loving wife will be perfect for me to say that i have achieved a life that i want to. all other things to my mind will just follow.

I was once like you who experienced a career burn-out. Without second thought that time, I quitted my job. Now that you are unhappy with your job, maybe it's time for you to look for a better one that will really make you happy and motivated. Good luck.

There are ofcourse many things that I haven't achieved yet.It doesn't also mean that it keeps me from being happy.Sometimes things don't at all happen the way we expect them to happen still there is room for finding happiness with all the things we already achieved though not very satisfying.There are some silly things and also important things like I would like to 1.Have a baby chimp as a pet. 2.Go on mountaineering and Trekking whenever I want to. 3.Study theology outside the country. 4.Become a good counsellor. 5.Help people who can never repay. and ofcourse a LOT others. Incomplete would be the fact that I want to marry the person I love and am still waiting for it.It will happen in its time I believe.Similar posts will be good ,to make people think of what they really want to do and a missing.Thanks.

Currently is finding a new job as I just say goodbye to my company. The second is making more money to reduce my loan for buying a house. If all is ok, making extra money online will let me happy.

I'm real content with my life. Have three grown children, two grandkids and am financially stable. Been married many years to my high school sweetheart. I'd like to go back to school and complete my degree. Had to quit school as I had two aging parents that needed a tremendous amount of help. Was a difficult decision to make but it's something that had to be done at the time. My other achievement would be to convince our youngest daughter, her husband and kids to move back to our part of the country. I do miss them terribly but a new profession for our son-in-law took them about 1,200 miles from our area.

I will be 29 this year and i have 2 kids and a husband. Im really not a materialistic person its more of a spiritual and emotional that is missing in my life. And then my family is not yet established because we have no house yet of our own and i still have to help my parents..it just breaks my heart that i have not yet accomplished that, personally i wanted to become a good cook and try new ways and styles of cooking, i would love to travel different places and experience new things, and finally read lots of books.

I am still working on paying off my loan. It's 5 yrs terms I have 3 more years to go until I'm free of it. My goal is to pay it off next year, it's going to take a lot of efforts but I will surely save myself from interest.

I like your idea of paying off your loan earlier, it will not only save you from interest but it will also lighten your your financial obligations. Keep it up.

I want to go back and finish college. I've got 2 and a half semesters to go (a year and a half basically) before I get my Bachelor's in Criminal Law which was what I was going for before the drama llama parked in my yard and I had to quit. I also do have a "bucket list" (things I want to do before I die) and there are a few things on that I want to achieve before I die. 1. Go to Hawaii 2. Skydive 3. Swim with dolphins 4. Learn to surf 5. Ride in a semi truck 6. Open my own cat and dog no kill sanctuary. I read an article last night in the emergency vet clinic that we took our dog to after he had a 103 fever that the shelter in Memphis, TN had an 84% euthanasia rate last year. Out of about 13,800 animals brought in, 11,900 were euthanized. That's an average of 33 animals a day needlessly killed because of dumb fcuk owners who won't spay or neuter. I want to open my own no kill sanctuary to allow any and all animals to have a safe haven and not worry about when their 3 days are up. And about 10 or so more that I don't want to bore you guys with. But the last one about the no kill sanctuary is the number one I want to accomplish within the next couple years. I am already fostering a few dogs for the local animal shelter here in Texas to keep them from dying. I don't care if I keep them forever or not. It's unfair for animals to be put down because their only sin was being born into a world where no one wants them.
