What are the most important goals you hope to achieve in life?

May 19, 2010 8:53am CST
What are the main tasks, challenges, goals, opportunities etc. that you wish to fulfill in life? Do you believe the more you achieve the happier you will be? I once read that before you die your life flashes before your eyes so make it worth watching. I don't like to think about death too much nor being an old woman, I know I am getting nearer to being one lol, and it is a scary thought. When you are older you may think 'I wish I had done more with my time, or I should have done this and that' when that time comes you may want to turn back time to start all over again and do things differently. Does that encourage you to want to put more pressure on yourself right now and achieve your goals?

My goal is all centered to my children before myself. I want my children to reach their respective goal, my son Dave to be a Pilot, my daughter Divine to be a Traveller of the world, my daughter Miah to be a Doctor, My son Joshua to be an Engineer, my daughter Amanda to be a Model and my youngest daughter JM to be a Lawyer. For myself, I just want to be the happiest simple mother for them. My ultimate goal is to live forever for them, LOL

there's no turning back the hands of time so it's important to live everyday to the fullest. we may make decisions which we will later regret but we have to accept that what's done is done. we just have to move on. maybe it's leading us to another path, a better one.

I am from a middle class family. My goal is to serve humanity. For that i need lot of money . I pray to god that when i become a millionaire, my mindset should not change(serving people and humanity). I can't bear the sight of poor kids begging and sufferings of people. So basically i have started earning and my goal is to become a multi - millionaire and start serving suffering people. Education, Medical Treatment, Job. I have a well laid of plan in my mind. I am working towards it. Giving Job to the jobless and making them earn which inturn will bring in more money which i can use for the other charitable activities.. As of now i don't have any selfish goals.. My only prayer is that i should stick to the same policy when i grow up too...

Good day to you Dolphin0106, There are a lot of important goals that I want to achieve in my life. And one of them is to have a business of my own. To put up a small grocery or a food business either a restaurant or catering. This is one of the important goals that I would like to achieve and establish. Nevertheless, I think, its normal for a person to wish that he can turn back the time in order for him to do this and to do that. But, this thing cannot be happen, because, the life that we have now is the life that God wants us to be. And, granted, that we have the power to turn back the time, still, God will redirect us to the life we have at present. Maybe these things happen for us to learn more and be more effecient in all the things that we want to achieve. Thats all and Happy Mylotting to you. Have a nice day.

I just want a nice quite steady full life. I have a beautiful wife and before too long I would like to have kids, I feel I have a lot to give them and I'm positive they will give me lots of pleasure. I have great mates which is important to me,a great family. But what I'd really like' is to make enough money so I could retire early and spend time with my family, and just enjoy life.That is the important thing for me is to enjoy life

I think that my main goal right now is short term. Just to finish moving my family down to Tennesse and lead a happy and calm life. Long term I'd like to take a cruise and see the northern lights. Small things like that would please me. My husband just retired and all he wants is to relax. Maybe fish a little and enjoy the 5 acres of land that we bought down south. My daughter has bigger goals for herself. She wants to go back to school, taking classes here and there while she works. Then she wants to take this big road trip and see a little bit of the world. She really wants to go to Ireland, Forks, Washington and there was one other place that I can't remember. My daughter just got married and her new husband wants to get back into construction maybe run his own company or maybe just open up a little shop where he can work on cars, trucks, and bikes.

I just want to live today and every other day to its fullest and live each day as it's my last!!!! I do not want to overload my plate or I won't get anything done as I'll just keep spinning in the same spot. I want to stay healthy by eating right , resting and keeping fit!! My new baby keeps me on my toes and I want to be around to watch her grow old and maybe get married and have kids. I would also like to start my own business so that I can work my own hours and answer to no one but myself. That's what I'm working on these days.

Now 60+ and have experienced the life's ups and downs. Have seen and observed practically many happenings. And ,achieved what ever I want and also lost what ever has gone this is the real charm of life. And, finally came to the conclusion that what ever tasks you have mentioned can be achieved to only a few people and will stay as dreams to many of them. To achieve our goals we need not put any pressure just make an attempt and try.
