Goals

What is your goal for the future? Near or far?
Or, just for today even.

What goals do you have right now?

To not be sick mentally or physically. But for the future. I am not sure....

To go to college and successfully graduate, then open my own flower shop and teach piano part time. But a secret once i don't usually share is that i want to be a famous poet. I want to have my work published in books. And for today? My goal is to get rid of this cough i've got, haha.

Short term?
Get a new job, pay the bills,&support family

Long term
Go to college get my bachelor's and get the job I've always wanted

My goal right now is to find a reason to have a goal in the first place.

Very motivating thread! Love your energy, Hannah and that sounds like an awesome goal. Feel better too, the cough does not sound like fun.

And Kakera, hope you find that reason. I think at some point we're all looking for reasons or our purpose? Why we do what we do?

Just want to focus on short term otherwise it can be overwhelming about the unknown. Or that I basically know the next few years but what if I don't meet those expectations, etc. So far now, doing my best at work and not wasting the day. Helping others, cleaning, practicing music, etc.

Today's goal is:To survive

To get through everything and hopefully find a house and money for a security deposit.

Short term: To survive each day and keep becoming a better person than I was yesterday and to try to keep my life juggled in a balanced way. Get a job so I can help support my family.

Long term: Get my blackbelt then pass my test to become a karate teacher so I can open my own school and share my passion with another generation and to end up happy in a healthy, long term relationship

Short term(s): Finish my Job Corps in one piece like finish it all :O , loose weight, and be happy every day :)
Long term(s): Get a job, get married or have a child :)

Short term :To pass my high school and join a good law school.
Long Term :To buy a villa or a yacht in southern France where I could live and write in harmony. Also I wish I get famous some day

Being better at managing a classroom (behavior wise)

To make it through this drama

My goal is to take action towards WORLD PEACE

With every step Soka Gakkai International is moving forward towards World Peace.
Fortunate to be a member of SGI.

Would like to share:

As Daisaku Ikeda has written,an understanding of the interconnectedness of all life can lead to a more peaceful world:

"We're all human beings who,through some mystic bond,were born to share the same limited life span on this planet,a small green oasis in the vast universe.Why do we quarrel and victimize one another?If we could all keep the image of the vast heavens in mind,I believe that it would go a long way toward resolving conflicts and disputes.If our eyes are fixed on eternity,we come to realize that the conflicts of our little egos are really sad and unimportant."

Get after my bf for not sending me a message for Christmas that a-hole.

To survive and not lose the strength to fight for access to my. That's my only goal.

To survive not to lose my mind, too much choices at one time!

To get better I hate being sick!

My goals...
To continue to gain weight up to a healthy number to keep beating my eating disorder
Earn my GED
Get a decent paying job
Pass my upcoming test so I'm one step closer to earning my blackbelt and my own school
and Train hard enough that I do well at the International Championship Tournament this summer :)

^Ha, Mark, nice one!

And good luck Beauty, those are some amazing goals and sounds like you're talented and you have a lot of determination.

My goal now? To clean. Anything. My room probably first. It is in desperate need of organization.

My goal is to build a good future for my daughter
