My Goal In Life

Everyone wants to be something, to become somebody, to know that the amount to the grand scheme of the universe. There is always such a deep fear of mediocrity. Eating away telling you “You aren’t worth anything.” that it’s all useless in the long run. This has been true for a long time. I believe humans have always felt this way. We have always wanted to matter. I think I finally realized that this year. I realized that some things really don’t change. Someone, somewhere along the line of time has felt the same way or will feel the same way. Human’s are complex creatures yet we are extremely simple minded. This is obvious as we look in the past, analyze literature and art, we realize that we have been talking about and thinking the same things for a long time.

At the end of my senior year of high school, I had to make a senior portfolio; part of the project was to write down your goals and make a timetable for where you see yourself in five or ten years. I wrote that my goal in life is to be happy and I skipped the timetable because if my goal is to be happy then I can’t plan out how to obtain that goal. Who knows what will make me happy in five years? Life is constantly changing; nothing actually stays the same. It is important to set goals for yourself, but my idea of goals is different. I want to be happy and my goal is to take whatever smaller steps are necessary to get there.

All my life I’ve been trying to find my purpose. I always knew that my purpose in life was to help people, but I didn’t know how I really wanted to accomplish this. Upon graduating high school I was confused

A one goal that I have set for myself is to keep moving forward into my careers. By moving more into a career will help me achieve better financial issues, less depression, better opportunities, better choices, and a better attitude toward life. Another goal

I believe that my purpose in life is to help others, put others before myself, shed love on others and to enjoy the time I have here on this Earth. Achieving my purpose in life will take time, practice, and an extensive amount of education. With my supportive family and friends that have the same views and values as me, I will achieve this goal.

My personal mission is to help others understand what makes them special, what their strengths are and how they can apply their strengths to succeed. I will share my life’s experiences as encouragement as I continue my journey of spiritual and professional development. I will remember to enjoy life and remind others to do the same.

My purpose in life is to observe and learn from everything I come across. Whether it is from a person, animal, experience, or object. My purpose is to accumulate this knowledge and grow from it. I believe that you can never stop learning and have always felt this was my purpose. Using my strengths quest theme qualities, I am positive that my strengths will guide me to success. With these qualities, I will successfully reach my personal goal of paying my car loan in full, within the allotted time. I will reach my long-term academic goal of procuring my master’s degree in my desired field. Furthermore, I will achieve my long-term career goal and seek employment with the Federal Bureau of Investigations.

Based on the number of books and articles written about discovering lifetime goals, it appears that determining and setting goals must be difficult for most people – but it’s not difficult for me. My lifetime goals are to improve the well-being, quality of life, and happiness for my family, my fellow human beings, and myself. I want to realize the goals of lifelong learning and growth. I want to avoid debt and poverty, and to continue to be a productive member of society. My lifetime goals are broad and lofty, but to reach them takes goal setting on a smaller scale. I’ve set and achieved specific goals that have led me to my present goal: attending the University of Texas at Austin and graduating with a degree that will move me further toward

In a recent TED Talk, Adam Leipzig talks about how he has figured out a way to show a person their purpose with a series of questions. When Adam asked his colleagues if they were happy, 80% of them said they were not. The 20% that we're happy “we're living our lives expansively with life’s ups and downs, and we did not feel that we had wasted a single minute” (Leipzig, Adam). All of these people who felt that they were happy knew the answers to these five things: “who they were, what they did, who they did it for, what those people wanted or needed, and what they got out of it, how they changed as a result” (Leipzig, Adam). If you can ask yourself these five questions, you can figure out what your life purpose

My children are my overall purpose that reflect all aspects of me including career, academics, and everyday life. My academic purpose is to achieve and maintain high grades with undivided focus to be able to be the role model my children need, and to influence them in a positive way on the importance of education. My career purpose is to be in an Executive office position that I know I will enjoy and that will also provide stability as well as the assurance of accommodating adequately for my family. My personal purpose is to remain humble, optimistic, and keep a positive attitude towards any obstacle I may face. I decided on these important purposes to ensure the happiness and well-being of my most important purpose in life and my most prized value, my children, as well as a joyous and prosperous life for myself.

Although like myself there may be many who may be unsure of who and what they aspire to be. To be able to do things with a purpose behind it is what gets you closer to where you want to go.one of my most important life goals is to find my life’s purpose. It is becoming increasingly apparent that knowing and living one's life purpose is the most crucial step forward in any individual's path of development. When you are "living on purpose" then all those problems fly out the window, life's a gas, and it even becomes possible to actually get some "law of attraction" results because you are then indeed creating your life. And yet ,most people could not tell you what really fires them up, makes them who they are, and spurs them into action in their life - because there isn't anything. Their life purpose is not conscious to them or they haven't created it

Your life has many purposes. Many are fulfilled in your day-to-day life and you do not think of them as purposes. Yet you could say meaning and purpose motivated each choice, each experience, and each role you have played that taught you lessons about yourself, your relationships, people, organizations, and how life works. The learning and growth that has or is taking place from each experience moves you forward to greater awareness and can be seen as a purpose in your life. Some of you may choose to look broader and see the major theme or spiritual reason for your life. Knowing your spiritual purpose is a motivating and exciting force in one 's life. Do you know your spiritual purpose or are you ready to take on another assignment?

As a child and even as a teenager one tends to make dreams and set goals for life. On occasion these goals are far stretched and sometimes even fairy-tale like, we tend to see life through a rose-colored glass, not taking into account the many sidetracks life throws our way. At that stage in life our goals tend to be less focused and somewhat unreachable. However, the process of growing up, or maturing, tends organized and center our goals, we learn to make compromises and set goals for our goals. There are different types of goals, short term and long term. I have learned to separate the many goals I have into three main categories: family, professional and personal.

My career goal is obtain my doctorate degree in Occupational Therapy. I would like to work with geriatric population because they are more vulnerable to disabilities from chronic illness that results in them being put into nursing facilities. I want to specialize my education on physical disabilities. I have experience working with the geriatrics patients who are physically disabled and I hope to help them keep their independence. My goal is to help geriatric patients gain valuable skills in order to keep their independence and have the ability to live at home. As an occupational therapist, I will help patients do things they want to do through therapeutic methods of everyday living. I would teach them news ways of doing daily actives after suffering from a disability. For example, a patient who had a stroke, I would reteach this individual how to hold items, how to button shirts, and so on. I would prefer to work at patients’ home or in a clinic setting; however, I am open to working wherever my skills would needed. Since I want to work in patients’ home, my main goal is to evaluate and change their home, so it is easier for them to stay independent. I have an interest in working with patients who have developmental delays; however, I need to observe an OT specialized in that field to know for certain if that is something I would like to specialize in.

Do not take this the wrong way when I say that I do not care what it is you are trying to achieve. Let me explain. I mean I do not care if your goal is to graduate high-school with a certain GPA, start a clothing line, release your own book, learn an instrument, master a language, or even if it’s getting a certain someone in your life. Only you have the power to make that dream, goal, and ambition come to life. Grant Cardone taught me to commit first, and figure the rest out later. Just jump in! I can’t emphasize how many times I’ve thought about or talked about doing something and because that’s all I did, I never got anything done. After I committed to this concept, my goals were slowly becoming more and more accomplishable. January of 2017 I told myself I wanted to write a book and as soon as I set my mind to it and opened the document all I can say is: well … here you are, reading it.
