Life Goals

[TheNewGuy]

Being a DJ is more about getting girls. It is about improving yourself, setting and attaining high goals. So what are your life goals?

Mine are

• Go skydiving, possibly make a hobby of it
• Help others, join Peace Corp
• Start my own business, become Fortune 500 and change the lives of millions
• Save a life, or lives. Join volunteer fire department
• Do something rigourous and physical. Hike the Appalachian trail, climb Mt. Everest, etc.
• Get married and start a family
• Make enough money to make the people around me happy. In my will, leave enough money to get my descendents the necessities and donate the rest to charity.
• Possibly donate my money to a foundation that I setup. It would be a special school, tuition free, that was specialized in helping those with learning and social disabilities (specifically autism).

I'm only 15 (16 in 8 days!!!), but I already have plans to accomplish these. For my 18th birthday I plan on skydiving (it was going to be 16th, but no dropzones would take me) and possibly hiking a portion of the Appalachian trail as a "Senior year finding yourself" journey. Depending on which college I go to, I'd also like to join the fire department after high school. I'd also like to join the Peace Corp for 2 years after I graduate from college.

The reason most people never reach their goals is that they don't define them, or ever seriously consider them as believable or achievable. Winners can tell you where they are going, what they plan to do along the way, and who will be sharing the adventure with them. -- Denis Watley

I have several goals in life, but the thing about me is that there are several paths I could take, and I have yet to decide which one to take. I've been considering being a traveling musician, a writer, a surfer, or an architect.

But basically:


- If I start a band, start touring and eventually tour all over the world or just go solo, and travel all over the world playing music.
- Travel. I'd like to travel all over the world and become friends with all sorts of people. Eventually I would have so many friends (lol) in different countries, that if I wanted to go to that certain country I could just stay with a friend instead of having to spend money on a hotel.
- Learn many languages.
- Live in Greece and Egypt for several years.
- Meet a chick who has the same interests as me. A rebel.
- Write an autobiography of all of my adventures when I settle down.

I have two sets of goals (and I'm sure most of you guys do as well)- goals that I'm willing to "pay the price" for (i.e. put the effort into it) and goals that I would have if I were a demi-god.

Laziness is a powerful force...

Anyways, my "real" goals are:

- Make a difference to the poor. Donate and help charities.
- Write, record, and produce an album. Doesn't matter if it sells or not.
- Gain some muscle. 140 lbs sounds good
- Have a job that would make a difference and improve the lives of others
- Travel the world (hitch-hiker/hobo style)
- Have a bunch of close friends and a wonderful girl by my side
- And yeah, skydiving is definately on my list of "things to do before i die" list.


Here are some goals that I "want" to achieve, but I'm just too darn lazy to do anything to reach them (for now...):

- Write a book/make a breakthrough in the field of self-help/psychology
- Learn to draw and eventually become an artist
- Be a multi-millionaire

Thx TheNewGuy for starting this thread. I learned a lot about myself just now and it was extremely inspiring to read your goals as well.

My only goal in life is to look good every single day. Everything else is just icing on the cake.

- Win a Fulbright scholarship in 2008 to research Irish language usage in the Gaeltacht
- Get my M.Phil in Peace and Conflict Studies
- Get a Ph.D in something related to PCS and teach for awhile
- Do a one-armed pullup
- Send a V10
- Coach high school swimming
