Lately i’ve been thinking alot about the past, present & future and if i’m at a point in my life where I thought i’d be and if so, did I achieve any of the goals I set out for myself when I was younger. The simple answer is no, life is an unexpected vortex of complicated twists and turns. An inevitability of hard times which we only survive because of the moments of joy inbetween. And when the inevitable comes, we all deal with it and get to the other side.
Priorities and goals shift somewhat as you get older. In this present, I would say my top 4 life goals are;
Family/relationships (Finding a wife, getting married, having kids, but still being there for my mum/siblings + a select few friends)
Loyalty (those who are worth my time and matter most to me)
Job satisfaction (Job, security and money)
General personal development. (Finding personal inner peace and striving to be the best one can be, always)
I guess things like wanting to travel, write a book, sailing, visit a small unknown town in the states, road trips across the states, seeing amazing things like the aurora borealis, salar de uyuni, sea of stars etc amongst many other things are below on the list, and will go up higher as life goes on (maybe even happen before the top 4 things, life is unexpected after all).
I would normally put loyalty as number 1, however I would find it slightly contradictory being higher than family/relationships considering i’ve abandoned and removed someone from my immediate family from my personal life.
What are your top 4 life goals?
(Yes, i’m aware similiar threads have been created before).
I dont have a goal. My life is in auto-mode.and i enjoy it being like this.i have alhumdolilah much of the things like family satisfaction, some savings, education, good secure jobs ( that i switch every 2-3 Years as i feel bored with same colleagues/environment in 2/3 years) etc.
When I was in 8th grade, I had a Bengali girlfriend. I wanted to be the Bangladeshi president to impress her. Even though we’re not together today, I still have an ambition to become the Bangladeshi president.
Atm…I’d like to find a way to become internally numb to the hurtful things the same people do time and time again without realizing/understanding their errors.
