What's your goal in life?

[AC123]

Do you have one?

Should you have one?

How can it be achieved?

[SCEtoAUX]

Threesome.

[Kewy]

To unload the dishwasher without having to dry anything manually.

[NoVetec]

1. To have a poo that takes 5 wipes or less to deal with.

2. To go to Nordkapp to see the midnight sun. Should be doing this next year hopefully.

3. Own a V8 at some point.

I don't really have any now i'm into my 30s, just trying to get through the day to day.

Be quite nice to own a house one day, but i think that's more of a society imposed goal than a personal one.

[Ransoman]

To look back on my life in my deathbed knowing that, in the grand scheme of things, my life was worthwhile. That I made an impact on the world and peoples lives and have raised kids and grandkids that strive to add similar value to the world.

[Megaflow]

I have posted about this before. I don’t really hve one, and it strikes me as a bit odd.

I just can’t seem to think of one.

[Ultra Sound Guy]

To get to the end of each day without committing murder!

[mike80]

See as much of the world as possible.

[Kingdom35]

To be happy as much as possible

[Wiccan of Darkness]

I guess it's all relative depending on your stage of life....

At age 5, success is not pissing your pants
At 12, it's having friends
At 18, it's having sex
At 25 it's having a wife and good job
At 35, it's having a wife, good job, house and kids.
At 50, it's having a wife, good job and access to the kids
At 60, it's having a wife and a job.
At 70 it's having sex
At 80 it's having friends
At 85 it's not pissing your pants.


Sun rise.... sun sets....

To crush your enemies, to see them fall at your feet — to take their horses and goods and hear the lamentation of their women. That is best

[Muzzer79]

Simple: Happiness.

Happiness for me and for my family.

How to go about obtaining it is the tricky part.

[bucks]

To stop being such a grumpy sod. Maybe then one day my kids will talk about me with fond memories rather than 'he was ok but a bit grumpy'

Oh and to buy, use, enjoy and keep some sort of classic without selling for some unknown reason as I usually do. Merc W124 next me thinks

[Kewy]

Serious answer – I used to get very hung up on not really having any proper drive to 'be successful', or make something of my life. My younger brother is the complete opposite and very career driven, he's doing very well for himself and I'm extremely proud.

It's just not for me I don't think. I'm quite happy enjoying the day-to-day, and the little things. I have bucket list experiences etc, but no real goals as such, I'm too spontaneous for that

I then read Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari and it really helped me feel comfortable with where I am for some reason. Comfortable just enjoying what life has to offer and not getting hung up or drawn in to this over productive world we live in today. Made me realise I'd be quite happy with everything I've enjoyed in life so far if my time was to be up tomorrow.

I know that goals can be non-career driven but it's the first thing I often hear when it comes to 'life-goals'.

Wow, didn't expect to get quite so deep on a Monday.

Alright calm down Genghis

[QuartzDad]

Immortality.

On track so far.

[Trophy Husband]

Ensuring that my lovely wife and lovely kids are happy which makes me happy.
To be kind.
To be remembered fondly by all who know me.
That would be a life well lived in my opinion.

When it beeps to tell you it’s finished, open it, give the trays a few sharp yanks to get the water moving, shut and wait until it’s cooled

Works
