Life Goals

As a child I was told to have goals and by having goals then I will have purpose. Which means what? I interpreted this into meaning that if I have goals then I am focused on achieving something that will imporve my life and knowledge. I was taught to work hard and put in the time and good things will happen. Which has been a way of life that has brought me many great expierences and memories. So what about life goals? Well having life goals has given me reason to do something, that wouldn't normally happen if I didn't "schedule" it into my life.

A few life goals that I had over the years have been, at the age of 5 I wanted to be famous (and we see how that has worked out). At 15, a sophmore in high school, my goal was to be on the Varsity Basketball team, which after a summer of camps, workouts, weightlifting and practices became a reality. At 20 I was just praying to pass economics, and I was never happier with a "C".

However, at 25 my life goals started to take on more structure, entering in the workplace and learning from so many different people. I really started looking at goals that I wanted to expierence or have as part of my life. A few things that have taken form for me with this structure, is going back to school to get my masters before I turn 30 and becoming a better cook for my finance before we get married. (Even though I blew up a glass pan on Christmas Eve, which was a small set back.)

My newest life goal that is different from all the others is that by the time I turn 32 I would like to have performed as a stand up comedian at an open mic night. I am taking this opportunity to blog my ideas and solocit ideas from other on how to make this happen in the next few years.

Wish me luck!
