Lifetime Goals
Establishing lifetime goals is inherently a challenging exercise, yet an essential one for any person to strive for prosperity in society. Goals are the very essence of what makes humans unique, we have the ability to visualize a yet unseen world, we have to ability to hope. Even though logic may tell us something is impossible, hope is the gift that gives us that spark in our mind, the spark that says “Even though there is a small chance, there is a chance nonetheless.” Hopes and dreams are what drives us to be better, to achieve more than anyone else, it is hope that encourages us to evolve. This being said, my “lifetime goal” is very simple, I just wish to be happy. The goal of happiness seems to be very short and sweet, however, it is deceptively elusive in our changing times. Being successful and making money are commonly confused with happiness when in fact, they are merely avenues that may or may not lead you towards your goal, but not a substitute for it; id est, they are a means to an end, not the end itself.
The things that I have done, and plan to do are in accordance with what I believe will help me achieve my end goal, happiness. To start, I have always been a very good student, but most people would say that on a college essay, so the question is, What evidence do I have to substantiate such a claim? I would like to submit this essay as my first form of evidence. I hope, by my insights illustrated in this paper, that my intellect is given a
My goal in life is to pursue a career I will love participating in and commit to fully.
As far as goals, I intend on graduating from college and fulfill my aspiration of having a professional career. Growing up, my father has always worked minimum paying jobs and living for paycheck to paycheck, while my mother has always been a housewife. Whenever it came to school, my parents encouraged me to do my best in my studies.
Ever since I was a young child, my parents always told me to try my best in school, they always told me this for the reason that they never had the opportunity to have a good job because they never finished school. This event is shaping me to care a lot regarding my education. In addition to that, another event that has shaped me to become the person I am today is that since my parents don’t have good paying jobs they have to work hard to take care of me and my siblings this event has caused me to become a hard working person and to seize all opportunities to live a good life because I don’t want to struggle like my parents.
Goals we all have them big or small, we each have something we want to accomplish, but the big question always is, how do we accomplish it. Well for me, I have goals in life daily and longer term. Daily goals would be like finish psychology paper or make it to the gym sometime today. My more long terms goals relate specifically to my college degree, such as complete college in four years, get into a good
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.
I have goals in my life, just as the great Odysseus had his own goals; Odysseus wanted to return home and slay all of the parasitic suitors, living off his fortune. My goals, on the other hand, are not so gory or dangerous, but it is also tiresome to achieve my altitudinous goals. I want to go to a nationally ranked college in business after I graduate, that is why I am
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
When I was younger, I thought as an adult you had to be successful in everything you did to be happy. When I got older I realized you can learn about yourself through trial and error and it’s okay to be unsure. Nobody knows for sure what the future will hold, but the things we do today can affect us later on.

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.
Lastly a long term goal for me in the future is to start a family. A family with a caring mother and loving home to come too everyday which is filled with joy and happiness. I would like to devote all my spare time to focus on my family. Including all members of my family including and not limited too their educations, health and personal needs. I will try to come up with the most plans in order to give my children the chance to improve their life skills to make sure they get into college and are able to start a career by themselves knowing that I am their when they need me.
My future dream job is to be the CEO of a company. I know that it will take a while to get there, so I am plan on studying business administration first, then, work my way up to the position that I want. In the future, I also want to be settled in a nice home where I can raise my future children, and living in Seattle, Washington. One goal that I wish to accomplish when I get older, is to buy my parents a house to give back for the sacrifices they have made for me, and for teaching me how to deal with the difficulties of life. The quality of life I want in the future will be a good one. I will achieve my goals and surround myself with people that will bring me happiness.
One day I would also like to have a happy family and I plan to give my children the childhood I have always wanted because I did not get the chance to live mine. All together success comes in many forms for many different people but the type of success I want to have involves me graduating both high school and college, becoming a success in my career and life, and having a family that I have always wished my family was like.
Throughout my life, I’ve realized my definition of success has been through achieving my goals to serve others and ultimately never stop learning. My work ethic and character traits have contributed to reaching my goals in high school and will prepare me for the future.
My goal in life is to be a great friend and wife to my fiancé. An exceptional and admirable mother that teaches her children not just right and wrong, but how to be healthy, happy, successful, responsible adults who can do the same for their families. I don’t want to lose sight of who I am and the person I am meant to be in the process. All the while, enjoying every bit of life and making every moment count.
