What are your goals in life?

[Ross]

Everyone needs a purpose in life to achieve goals that they put forward. Defining that purpose and the path towards those goals is ultimately how you'll achieve them, so I made this thread where everyone can share what they are aspiring to become. Read other responses for a little motivation boost, and perhaps some ideas.

My ultimate goal in life is to experience and enjoy many cultures throughout the world, and also cultivate a deeper understanding of people so that I can help with relations between us and perhaps be a leader of a more modern philosophical line of thought for people to use. I'm seeking to pull humans together rather than pushing them apart, and allow for people to figure out what they really want to do, and allowing freedom for the mind. It's pretty complicated for me to really grasp what line of thought would truly benefit humankind as a race, and it is my hope through the study of cultures throughout the world that I can find a way to bring all the positives out; but that action is set for a wiser age.

While pursuing this ultimate goal, I am trying to enjoy life and all its fruit as much as I can. I'm a huge believer in living it out while I am young, as I would rather live 40 years of exciting life than 80 years of being content. In order to be able to afford to explore many different cultures in a short period of time, I'm attempting to go pro in the most culturally diverse sport there is; soccer (or as it is known to a large majority of the world, football). Getting paid in a sport that I love and being able to earn money and explore different countries if I so choose will definitely be exciting. It is also one of the hardest goals out there; very few men are able to achieve the level that is needed to become one of the best at a sport that is practiced by such a large variety of people.

Those are my goals for professional life, yet where does Girls Chase fit in to all this? The social sphere of life is where a lot of experiences are made, and although I want to have time to go after personal goals, enjoyment of life just seems to be better when you are enjoying it with other people. Since I am a big believer in living while I am young, I am not seeking to build attached relationships with people; knowing and hanging out with people, in the long term, is not very productive when I am trying to cultivate new ideas and branch out all the time, and unless someone's goals line up exactly with mine, they will get in the way if I keep them around for too long and attempt to lead them in a direction that they don't want to go in. I am still seeking to have enjoyable relationships with people while I am exploring such cultures, and I have a considerably high sex drive. Therefore, I am seeking out women for enjoyable experiences, including sex, and seeking out men for just enjoyable experiences, not including sex (sorry boys, you can't have none of this). My approach to women is as follows: I am an incredibly sexy man who offers a few weeks of exciting experiences with you, but I am not staying here forever so might as well get some while it lasts. The sad thing for these people that are included in exciting experiences of mine is that they only get a few weeks of it, but I get to enjoy it through my entire life . I guess that might end up being my ultimate goal; allowing for people to enjoy everything that they do, and work together in creating those experiences. But cultivating and spreading such thought over one lifetime is difficult considering all the establishments in society, which I'll probably end up taking into factor as to why things haven't been changed completely yet.

I hope you enjoyed reading about my ultimate goals. Share yours and vehemently pursue them, and don't allow for anything to get in your way.

To always better myself as a man so one day when I do have a son, he can be proud of me. The same way I'm proud of my own father.

So sure you are going to have a son? If you're hanging around this website and not opposed to having children with women you aren't married to, I suppose that is very likely to happen no matter what, as long as you meet volumes of them . Awesome to have such a strong father role in your life.

I'm pretty certain, and no worries it'll happen sooner or later with my wonderful girlfriend I got through my experiences with Girlschase.

I want to leave a legacy, to return the value I earn through self-improvement and honing my skills, to be that kind of person sought after by people, because 'he's just good'. I want to affect people and change things for better through my work, so they will remember me when my name is said and they will smile. That's pretty much it. I can't know through which specific means it is going to happen, but this is what counts for me.

My goal in life is to live in the present moment, to not dwell in the mind but with in the heart.
When there is only the present moment, can we be at peace with the oneness of everything.

I want to reconnect western society with the roots of humanity. The planet is slowly being
destroyed and I'm not going to stand by and let this happen.

School is irrelevant as it's all in the mind, with in the realm of thoughts.

The only absolute is that education is derived from experience
which requires working hard. Be it mastering being a PUA
or finding spiritual fulfillment, or any pursuit in life.
Look with in yourself to find what your desire.

"Knowing others is wisdom,
Knowing the self is enlightenment,
Mastering others requires force,
Master the self needs strength. "

Dave, that's interesting. Are you planning on shrugging off society on marriage and just having kids with your girl?

I can relate to this. You sound like you're coming from a very similar place mentally to where I was when I was younger.

"Let me build up my skill base first, and become a flame to which moths are drawn... and I'll figure out what to do with all of that later on down the line."

You might find The Denial of Death a fascinating read, by Ernest Becker. It was a 1974 Pulitzer Prize winner, and dives deep into the psychology behind man's desire to leave a legacy behind him. One of the best and most enlightening books I've ever read.

Chase

That is the case, I told my girl I'm still going to be the same guy ring or not. I'm not going to become some mystical creature because of a diamond. I told her if it really means that much to her we could have a small ceremony in Greece. This would be about 8 years down the rode, when I'm in my late twenties. We plan on traveling the world after I finish my degree and build a solid career. I told her kids as great as they are interfere with travel. I'm 19 for the record, so if she's still around when I graduate great! If not I still have the travel part of the plan to look forward to.

 

[The Tool]

My goal in life is to essentially keep improving on becoming a better man, I want to explore the world without having to worry about financial issues. Eventually I do want to stop dating around and find that special someone, but who knows when that will be. When it comes it comes. Untill then I just like to live in the moment and take everything day by day, focus on the fun in life and live it to the fullest.

 

[Eric]

My ultimate goal is to defy death, quite literally.

As for whether I'm going to be the one to invent immortality, or simply survive long enough for it to happen, I do not know.

As for relationships.. I eventually want to have a family but I don't want a marriage.

For right now, my goal is to pull women as fast as I possibly can.
Afterwards, I'll work on becoming consistent.

My current life goal apart from my hobbies is to find work in various fields to find what I'm passionate about, and then go back to school.

Very cool. You're certainly way ahead of where I was at 19... man, I was still in teenage rage-mode, getting in fights with strangers and carrying an 8-inch blade in my pocket, shaking my fist at the world. I don't think I fully shrugged off the idea of everything society wants you to do until I was about 27. Very healthy and realistic mentality about women and lifestyle you seem to already have - shows a lot of promise for what you've got coming up.

We should talk about that sometime.

@ Chase
Thanks Chase, I definitely don't have it all together but I'm getting there. I try to have a realistic perspective on things but at the end of the day I have hope to accomplish the things I can control. The things I can't control I don't wrack my brain over, it's bad for the skin. I do like to push myself to give my all though and it's been working out very well.

You totally nailed it down to the core what I seek to achieve with that one. Thanks for the book tip, already started looking for it, kind of hard to get hold of physical copies of foreign books here.

I try to have a realistic perspective on things but at the end of the day I have hope to accomplish the things I can control.

I am with you here Dave. I think it is important to stay realistic but have some kind of edge that keeps you going forward on seemingly hardly achievable things, without being insane. I think that strict realism is not good for making a change, as reality is an ever-changing concept that never gets still as whole.

Re: STICKIED: What are your goals in life?

My goals in life are to be successful. What do I consider success? I guess right now in the long run is having a top floor office at whatever company I am working for. But to get down to its root I suppose it means I want to be a Leader. I know if I want to make the big bucks, have nice things and be at the top or at least somewhere damn near it. I cannot afford to be a follower or bashful or timid or someone who does take the initiative. In the center of all this, I consider being good with women to be a huge huge part of it. My failure in not doing anything with girls during these 19 years of my life also weighs on my heavily, I feel like half a man to be honest. I mean I get good grades, have good morals but these things and others are a given in my opinion and matter not. I am told that it will happen by my parents and elders, I will find a girls and all will be well but I do not want to leave it to anything but a concentrated effort by myself.

So I guess a little bit it comes down to me wanting to get laid, but I think in learning how to that I will learn many more useful schools for all facets of my life and be better and happier for it in the end.

Re: STICKIED: What are your goals in life?

My goal in life is to continually better myself as a person. I don't believe in the idea of looking 5+ years down the road and being a CEO or being really famous since I don't think that kind of thinking is realistic at all. Instead, I look at the short-term 1-5 years and picture what I would like to do in those short years that will give me a better shot of having a better long-term future. When I was in university, I was battling depression as well and one of the things I would do is kept giving myself personal goals to go after. I think i had 7 or so things I would constantly try to improve. I don't really remember what they were or how I got out of it but once in a while I still have to fight to stay positive. These days I whittled it down to 3 essential goals for myself as I think they're the core of establishing a great long-term future for myself and I tell this to my closest friends too.

Career - I think it's important to always be improving one's job prospects since even though money doesn't buy happiness, it will allow me to afford certain things that can help me with happiness - I'm a huge Blue Jays baseball fan and I know that I would be happy watching their games in the front row. I've had my third job in 6 months and was reading up on investments related stuff for the past several months before rediscovering this site so I'm going to have to put that on hold and work on this instead.

Looks - I don't know how most of you feel but I personally feel that looks are one of the most important facilitators out there. There's a reason why better looking people are more confident and it has more to do with just the media portraying them as such. Better health, more energy, sexier looking body is what helped bring me out of my shell and actually gave me the courage to do some of the things that I did before and the motivation to start approaching girls. And so nowadays I work out pretty regularly, try and eat healthy and gotta buy some new clothes.

Social Skills - Ever since I was back in secondary school, my social skills were never any good and it discouraged me from trying out a lot of things that I wish I could have done. Discovering this blog has shown me there's a lot to learn when it comes to these arts and I'm glad I'm starting to learn about this on a deeper level while I'm still young rather than when I'm 40.

My perspective on life has dramatically changed over the course of the past month or so and I'm starting to really appreciate the little things. I just read Ricardus' post of epic movie seductions and I would have to agree that life is short, it is full of pain and you have to go for every opportunity that's out there. (paraphrasing here)

Re: STICKIED: What are your goals in life?

Goal number 2 is to disprove mainstream social and financial theories of what people do and how they must do it. For example, there was a post here talking about how not everyone can be CEOs. I respectfully disagree, and that is one of the theories I seek to prove wrong.

I could list off businesses, business people, men, women, rappers, rockers, artists, and more who have broken the bonds of poverty to make it to success.

I refuse to believe these people are outliers. They had something in them that can't be chalked up to genetics or luck. I believe that we are all born with the potential to succeed, and its our choice to grasp it. Whether or not people are likely to grasp it is irrelevant, what matters is that we all are able to grasp it.

Not everyone can be a CEO because if we were all CEO's it would become something normal and easily attained and wouldn't pay relatively higher than other jobs. It would then become something that wasn't regarded in such high esteem.

Question for you, sir. If a boy grows up on an island, away from all else, does he have no excuse to not be able to achieve the same as me? A guy with internet access, a car, etc.? Would he, then, be able to become a big time business owner? No, because he is stuck on that island and does not seek to make a business; he simply wants to survive and live, therefore he hunts and gathers. This is an excuse for being, as our society sees, "unsuccessful."

Success is all perspective. A man in poverty may be happy, but he is seen by others as a failure. It's simply not right to see all these people as "failures."

Anyone is able to read GirlsChase

Maybe in a perfect world where we are all happy and able to use internet. Only a third of the world (source: http://www.internetworldstats.com/stats.htm) has access to the internet.

Not seeking to alter your goals, just showing some facts on the subjects.
