Had a conversation about this today and it got me thinking of the realistic things that I want to accomplish before I die, or can no longer follow through with due to age, illness, etc… If there are things that you’ve already done, put them on the list and just note that you did accomplish those goals. Mine, for now… - Live in Hawaii - Done, twice. - Skydive - Done - Learn to surf - Done - Run a full marathon - Learn to play an instrument well (I hate that I don’t have this done yet. And I’m kicking myself now for not staying with singing) - Learn to fly a plane - Visit China, Japan and Thailand. (along with other countries in Asia if possible) - Completely build my own form of transportation. (be it a race car, motorcycle, whatever) - Have children, obviously - Completely change someone’s life for the better. (possibly done, but unknown to me.) I’m sure there are things that I’ll think of later, but for now these seem like attainable goals for the average person. The key word is attainable. Don’t tell me how you want to have a threesome on the moon. ---

Be happy. Make lots of money without having to sacrifice 12 hours per day for 40 years. If I have some epiphany and I can be happy living in an RV and traveling North America than so be it. ---

I too don’t really have any kind of list. Basically I just want to be happy and feel a sense of accomplishment. I’ve completed so much already. It may not seem too big to other people but where I’m at is leaps and bounds ahead of the rest of my family. My mother and I are the only ones with college degrees. Now I no longer work for anybody but myself. I simply want to make enough money to pay my bills and enjoy myself. ---
