Question:

Do people today still live according to a planned life list or did our busy society force us to just be??

Lately i have been asking around, trying to find out if people still have a list of life long dreams and achievements. I wondered if people still live for that or are we too busy to want good things for ourselves and just focus on getting by every day.

I was shocked to find out that not a lot of people know what they want or what they life for...they just "are". So,i'm asking, do you have a life list and if you do, what are the eleven things you want to accomplish (even just trying a new meal or vacation destination) before you die??? :-)

Far too many people just live one day at a time without regard to their future or any specific goal. By this, they never have time to stop and smell the roses or advance their own personal goals. At the same time, to many people the acquisition of "stuff" including money is their dream.

For me now, I have set goals and try to live my life as a journey to reach those goals while trying to better those around at the same time.

Several of the first things that i did was quit watching so much tv, quit working so many hours, start listening to what others meant and said and advancing my education.

To date, my life is now much more serene and enjoyable. I have been able to assist a few others in their journey through life while obtaining a masters degree in philosophy and working on the next step (my next intermediate goal).
