    Hey everyone!! Pretty slow day for me today. I got to spend some time with my nephew which made me happy but it wasn’t for long. Other than that I kind of just watched videos and played some video games.

  11. For my life I want to be successful, and happy in my career. The reason why I want to be so successful is because I want to be able to take care of my parents in their old age, and give them piece of mind.

    For my life I simply want to do something I like for a living and be happy. Not very complicated but hard to do for a lot of people. Also have good enough eyesight when I retire so I can play videogames when I am 70.

    So what I want from my life is actually really complicated right now since I am just getting out of a 25 year relationship. The first thing that I realize is I have never been alone in my life, and technically I still won’t as I do still have the kids. This led me to discover I do not know what I want for just myself. So right now I want to discover myself, the good, the bad, and the ugly. But more importantly I want to have fun while doing it.

        I’ll be honest being in this class has helped. The authors that you picked so far had a rough path at times Especially Samantha and showed that there is a path of positivity if you just choose to take it and that is what I am doing. Besides I should get some great writing Material out of meeting people. I am like that guy who got transported to 25 years in the future and had to figure out the perils of dating in the modern Iphone world/

    What I want from my life is to be able to help people. No clue what my path will be like or what I’m going to be, but I want to make sure I can help people in whatever I’m doing. I like to live-stream games and stuff so it’s a nice way to interact with people who come by and chat and help them with anything.

    How will I realize what I want? That’s actually a fratuatious situation as it goes back to Ms. Irby. It starts by checking out some of the dating sites, modern age dating is different, but the last time I went on a date computers were barely a thing. Next step is to have fun while learning this new world as a single person.

    For my life, I want purpose. I want to find something that I am passionate about and it do it for a living. Preferably a business or project, but something that makes me feel like I have found my purpose in life. Growing up, my parents always seemed unhappy with their lives because they were doing what they had to do, not what they wanted to. My parents did of not have the financial means to take risks while also trying to raise and feed my siblings and I. They always seemed sad and complacent, which is something I do not want for my self. I want to be happy and take advantage of all they have sacrificed for my siblings and I, and have a life with purpose, for myself AND for them.

    good evening… had to repost this three times for it to work… kept saying it was a repeat comment…..anyway. I want my life to be full and genuinely happy. Obviously, not everything all the time In life will be happy- but if you’re with the right people to be by your side, your life will be happy. I want babies and a husband and I want to build/design a house. I have a very ‘shit happens’ attitude and i find its not worth stressing over things that you have zero control over (death, illness, economy, other peoples attitudes/problems, etc) and I hope to always keep that characteristic about myself because nothing ages and brings you down more than constate state of stress and worry.

    I want a degree and adventure in my life to continue feeling fulfilled by my own personal experiences and feelings. I want to earn an education with handwork and dedication to others, one way or another be of service, this has become important to me as I want what is best for not only myself but for others too. Not only that but desire a family of my own one day. Lets be clear, I do not want to realize everything at once or waste time not realizing what I need to accomplish. Life is worth living I have come to realize. Yes I have started reading Tom Foreman’s book. And I have started running too. I have not yet researched or googled him. I have looked at the novel and seen what he looks like and I am impressed. He seems like someone with a great amount of perseverance!

    I will reach what I want to realize by taking it one step at a time so set one small goal and achieve it no matter what the goal is to take the steps necessary and then once I reach that goal go for the next one. I just have to realize when I’ve reached where I want to be otherwise I will feel like I’m never getting there so I think the best way is to just go a day at a time And each choice I make should be one that leads me towards that goal

    I will reach what I want not reach by organizing myself and my time a lot more efficiently. Something I’ve also wanted to do, is try a set routine for my mornings and using positive affirmations on the daily. I think I really just need to discipline myself and get my myself into a more positive headspace to have the energy and will power to get to my “end point”
