What Do You Want In Life?

[John Barnett]

I want you all to really think about this question before answering it. Really think and study upon your answer. What do you really want out of life? Most of the people on this site are fairly young, and this is a common question that we ask ourselvesat this age. What exactly is it that you desire to posses in this one and only life?

the wisdom, patience and integrity to raise my charli into a daughter who makes rational, sensible and calculated choices in her life.
the love, honour and patience to love my daughter and my soon-to-be husband matthew.
the ability to be humble.
the ability to love.
and contradicting myself, conduct myself in a manner where i will not tolerate sh*t, to myself or anyone i love. i will fiercely guard my family and my friends, i wish to be able to control that so i'm not so volatile physically. i want to maintain my ruthlessness but not push certain people away, which i've done in the past.
good enough? THAT is what i want in life.

are you going to ask the meaning of life next john?? j/k...this is a good question

when i really think about it...i guess basically i want to be a good person, a good christian

i want to be able to look back at my life and not regret for a minute who i was
i don't want to ever doubt that what i stood for was something to be ashamed of
i want to be able to stand by my convictions with the strength and knowledge that if i'm right God will be with me, and if i'm wrong God will lead me to the right path
i want to do good for others, to allow my talents to heal the pain and suffering of others in disregard to my own suffering and pain

on a more final note i want to be with God at the end of my time here on Earth, so that I may have eternal life in his prescence

I think my true source of happiness would lie in the family, someone who I can share with, and pass down with. My child can immortalize me. Where I can create life, and nourish it in its attempt to be happy however that should be. I want to be able to protect them with my life, while being kind to them and putting them first on my priorities. I want to be my own person, and I think I need to be a good person, different from the crowd that represents all the evil in the world today. There still are good people in this world, although they are becoming less common. I want to try to become one of these people and be as fullfilled as I can in life, changing my pessimistic perspective to that of optimism.

When I was young I was afraid of being possessed by the devil, now I am afraid of being possessed by the world.

I want to always keep my eyes open, so I can see the lies in everything.
I want to be seperate from the rest of the world, I want to be the completely opposed polarity to the rest of the people on this planet. I want to become myself in the end. I want to realize the truths of this human shell, and proclaim the common beleifs lies.

I must say the wording of your question threw me. If only for the fact that some do not believe this is the only life we live.


As for me and what I want in this life, now, simply to learn and share. Mostly though, someone honest to share it all with.

[Persephone]

I live my life to give meaning to it. Finding that meaning is my reason.
Of course there's also the proverbial Escalade, million dollar penthouse, my name on the New York Times' Bestsellers List, things like that. ;D
