What do you want to accomplish in your lifetime?

So I know life is short and precious and we should all work towards our goals and dreams. It's just that I'm at this point in my life when I'm just tired, depressed, find life meaningless and don't feel like doing anything. I would love to hear what you would want to do during these finite years, and hopefully it will inspire me. Thank you :)

    I do a lot of creative writing, so I would like to have some of my work published. I am also a keen photographer, and would like to have a photographic book published, or have my work shown in a gallery.

    I am a keen traveller, and there are still plenty of places around the world which I haven't yet been to. Put the two together, and I also write a lot of travel blogs, so something I would like to do is to write a novel or noveletta which incorporates my travels around the world.

    One trip I would love to go on (and it is going to happen) is where I go around the world and hit every continent. That would be such culture, variety and sense arrestation on a scale I have never known before. It is also another aim of mine to travel on an itinerary of: chilled-out metropolis --- tropical paradise --- desert paradise --- vibrant world city. That too would be brilliant.

    What I have found is that there is always a way of making your dreams come true, you just have to formulate them in the first place. Even if you don't know how on Earth they could happen, focus on them often, and you will be surprised what starts happening in order to help your dreams come true. Years ago, I wanted to visit Australia and New Zealand, so I drew up an itinerary and found out about the hostels I would like to stay in, and kept focusing on this goal in my mind. At the time, I didn't know how it was going to happen as I didn't really have the money, and then the ball started rolling.

    First, my grandmother gave me a sizable sum of money because she was ill and didn't think she would live (fortunately, she did). That took care of the money. Then my boss as work granted me a month-long break of service as he had been impressed with the work I had been doing. Then I got an email from STA Travel, telling me of deals on multi-stop tickets to Australasia, with a free stop in Asia, so that took care of my itinerary. One by one, everything started falling into place, and within about 5 months of formulating my plan, I was sitting in a cafe looking out across Bondi Beach.

    Life may feel meaningless for you at this moment, but if you start thinking about your goals, you find that 'life' seems to 'help' you accomplish them. Pick one goal, sketch out a plan, but don't think HOW it is going to happen, just imagine yourself doing it. Helpful events and coincidences will then start happening in your life (they are called synchronicities) to make that goal happen. JUST KEEP FOCUSING ON IT. Then once your goal has been realised, you can work on others in the same way.

    I always dreamt of living in Ireland, then almost 7 years ago I made my dream come true. I had a lot of stuggles to find my feet, learning how things work here, but that whole experience (along with hard times with unemployment in between, bein broke and living on soup and toast for days) has thaught me so much.

    No dream is impossible if you keep holding on to it, if you work hard, if you're determined and never loose you dream and goal out of sight, never give up - fight on and don't let anyone tell you "It is just a follish dream and impossible" (My grandfather did this and tbh. it made me even more determined to reach my goals!). Now I came out on top again, I have a job that I like and I'm here so long now...

    I always dreamt of owning my own B&B here, well it would be very expensive even buying a house and getting it ready for business, so that dream is fading a bit at the moment.

    I would like to finish my story and maybe get a book made of it.

    Keep on doing all my creative stuff, esp. painting

    Have a family myself some time

    A little holiday home in Hungary (Been there 6 times - great place!)

    and just be happy.

    It's even hard now to come up with dreams, since in this terms I am actually quite happy in where I am and what I've archived.

    When i was younger al the kids many age wanted to be a fire fighter or police man, but all i truly wanted was to have a family and a home a place to call my own.

    When i got older into high school i still didn't know what i wanted to do professionally to caught up with girls and parties. Then one night a huge thunderstorm rolled in and i decided to go for a walk in it. The lightning and thunder, the wind and rain was magnificent beautiful with its raw natural power i felt in love with the weather so i started taking classes to prepare myself for meteorological work.

    Now I'm in college studying for a physics degree and I'd love to get into bow hunting to experience nature naturally and self sufficiently to live off the wilderness. And to eventually expand on this to include the training of a hawk to assist in the hunt.

    And recently with the mars rover i would live the chance to explore an alien planet even if I'm not the first the prospect of seeing something no one else head ever seen intrigued me.

    I'm twenty years old and and five years ago i thought i knew everything i loved a girl i partied and had fun it wasn't until my girlfriend of three years left me that i realized i was having "fun" but i was never truly living. As of now life seems short but the way i truly see it is : you have 100 years to live and right now I've barely even scratched the surface!

    Source(s): Hope that helps. Sorry for the length.

    All I want to do is be able to say that I lived my life as much as I could. In my life I want to go on adventures. I would love to have a life like my skyrim character has, but unfortunately the small thing called reality gets in the way =(

    Well, in 25 years old... I have myositis, severe epilepsy, fibromyalgia, loin pain hematuria syndrome, pelvic inflammatory disease, cervical cancer, pseudotumor cerebri, and 5 herniated discs. I can barely get out I bed.
