What do you want to achieve in life?

I want to achieve in life, but I'm not one-hundred percent sure how? What about you? Do you have a bucket list perhaps? Dreams and desires that you think will make you satiated? I just picture myself old and alone and no achievements to comfort me. I'll look back and think "Kyle, what've you done with your life"? And it's making me depressed lately…

    Reaching an old age despite the wife

  • 9 years ago

    My goal would be to discover what makes us age and find a way to stop the aging process.

    I think in terms of finding a life goal is to imagine that you are limitless, unbound from whatever that hinders you right now, and ask yourself, what do you want out of life. After you got your goal, plan and make your first step.

    You are privileged to live and you only have one chance to live, don't waste it. I will be cheering for you.

    It depends on what you believe success to be. Some people want money, some status, love, a house, car, kids etc. There are the normal ones. What makes you happy? Just think to yourself, when are you most happy? That is your key to success.

    I don't have a bucket list, my goals change daily. There are too many things I want to do in life that I will probably never do, but above all I want to be happy. I am happy if I have good friends and am generally having a positive impact on the world.

    If you're not having the usual ideas of wanting a house, a wife, a well-paid job then chances are you are more original than the norm, so it can be harder to work out what you want to do. You could always help find your goals in life by doing some volunteering, this could lead you to discover your passion. It's actually an enviable position to be in, the world's your oyster, you should take some classes in all sorts of things and see which one you enjoy most and end up continuing, you could end up passionate about writing, tapdancing, body-building, singing...anything!

    Don't be depressed that you don't know what to do yet, be happy that you could end up doing anything! And your life is a mystery and adventure and not a boring, mapped out cliche :D

    Kyle, life will take you on such a ride. You will have many memories to comfort you when you get old. I realized a long time ago that you can make all the plans you want, but life will still have its way with you. You will end up exactly where you were meant to be. It's amazing. And please Kyle, try to remember it's not so much 'what' you do in life, but rather 'how' you do them. Be aware of life around you, drink it in.

    I want to gain self awareness through mindfulness and meditation practice, stop drinking too much when i go out for the weekend, build up my body with more muscle, have a few fun flings and then settle down with a great girlfriend, and generally feel like a good person every day! :)

    I just want to be happy but doing the right things to make me happy is hard because there are always things that mess up your plans.

    I always wanted to go to New Zealand. No idea why, just thought it would be a unique experience.
