You will only be here once... unless you belive in reincarnation. Have you given it a serious thought? Some plan for their life after death. They believe in doing good in this life or accumulate wealth in heaven. Others just want to earn more and more money and enjoy life .... err....whats next? So what do you really want out of your life?

I want to be happy, healthy and have good luck in the rest of my life. I like working as a primary school teacher and helping children reach their potential. I eat a vegan diet and will continue doing that because it is a healthy choice and is cruelty free. I have traveled a great deal and hope to travel to many more different countries. In some small way I hope that the money I spend in the countries I go to benefits the some of the local people. Making lots of money is not important to me. I hope to publish a novel during my lifetime. This year I hope to take and pass my practical driving test.

This might seem like some sort of hippie-days leftover, but I am 62 years old, and I have always wanted the same things, so I guess it's just part of me. Every day of my life, I have tried to be a better person than I was the day before. I think we approach that best by doing all we can for others, and by learning all we can. What I want out of life is never-ending improvement. I have the great fortune of being married to a man who feels the same way. Even though I've suffered from clinical depression throughout my life, these ideas have made me a very happy person. I believe they've also caused me to be a really good foster-parent, an excellent teacher, and the best ME I can be.

"I have tried to be a better person than I was the day before" is my wish also, though, I'm 33 years old. I know the rest of my life is still long , need more courage and effort to complete. Wish my family all happy , wish my family all health,wish fortune,wish good luck, wish to be a good parent..etc. are all my desires, at the same time, are other persons' desires. But we can't control them , maybe, most time,it's up to fate even if I try my best. Hence, be a good person,never-ending improvement, at least, is only I can do, which make me feel sureness at the bottom of my heart.

Peace, happiness, and to "live life more abundantly". To able to always love and forgive and even if I don't get that same thing in return I may still be filled with the joy that comes from above.

Hard to say what I want for the rest of my life, since what I want changes from time to time. In the short term, to eat and drink to my heart's satisfaction. Today is a hot day, ice cream float will be nice. Better eat while I still can, one day the doctors will say "cannot eat this, cannot eat that".

How often should we change our goal in life? Does that matter? Would we have wasted time by making frequent changes?

I want to experience as much as possible. While I was growing up I was in a single parent household so I didn't have too much. I learned the value of money at a real young age so I know what I am capable of doing. I don't think I will ever have my dream job but I want to be at a job where I am good at what I am doing and that I like. I want to see the world and go on as many vacations as possible. And I also want to finish school and have a marriage and kids.

You've a bright future in front of you. Treasure what you have and hope you enjoy your life. I think you're a very realistic person who understands that it is hard to find a dream job and would stick to a job that you'll be good at. Bless you..

Hey, Well I don't really know what I want out of my life, I actually have no idea just yet. But I do dream just to have a nice house to live in and a car to drive. But most importantly to have a nice wife and great family. Make sure you have a good day, God bless and Happy Lotting!!
