I started a list of things I want to with my life, starting at the age of 13!. I am now 56 and I have done most of my list!. Of course, I have added, or removed things from my list, as the years went by, but I am happy to say that MOST of what was on my list, I have done!. I guess my list is about 80% done!.

I'm sorry Rita, but I don't think anyone does things they want to do!. How can a legion decide what it wants, when its wants are so many and are shifted back and forth by whatever is happening in their life by external stimulus!. Often people think they do all these things they desire, but they have never seen themselves to know what they want they do not do, they only do whatever the world invokes in them -- it would be better to say things are being done, while they do nothing!. How can their be doing in sleep!? Real doing comes through wholeness (not the unconscious movements of a person so divided within themselves that their life resembles memento), when a man has oneness in themselves and directs their life in consciousness and will!. This is real doing and this is what Being is!.

If I could do, I would not be a mechanical man who succumbs to the limitations of the organic!. But I strive to be a doer, thus self work is important!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I have had a near death experience in the past few weeks and I have realised that life is too short not to do what you love doing!. WHich is why for my birthday Im climbing the Brisbane story bridge and I dont worry about where my life is going anymore, I dont care if I dont look the way others want me to, I dont care if people think Im weird!. Because they are wasting their life by doing the things other people want them to do!.!.

We do all of things that we do strictly because we want to!. You can't logically decide a want, and if you want to do something, then you'll inevitably do it!. So yes, We do spend time doing all of the things that we want to do!. I do do things that make me feel good!. I do them because I want to!. It's as simple as that! Www@QuestionHome@Com

A lot of people will disagree with what I'm about to say, but I stay high everyday!. I wake and bake on my days off!. When I get out of work I stop off at my local mom and pop shop, buy a blunt and go home to roll a fat one!.

I'm a recreational user and this is how I've always wanted to live!. I've wanted to have my own place where I can smoke all I want and drink all I want!. Listen to music as loud as I want and do some work on my car without having someone bust my balls about my life!.

I'm the Average Joe with minimum wage, living life quietly, like I've always wanted to!.!.!.

Just so long as what I want wont violate the laws of morality!. And if what I did want violated the laws of morality, I would analyze, deconstruct and reevaluate my priorities and belief system, in order to purge myself of immoralities!. Unlike most people, who will merely rationalize and reconstruct their own personal set of morals in order to validate what they want as the right choice!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes, I do work for the welfare of less fortunate than me (that's not my full job but work on my own) and the happy feeling I get from it is a real reward for me!.

People need your help and assistance!. They don't need your money but a little time and smile!. Have a resolve right here right now to help people who are not as fortunate as you!. I t will give you satisfaction of life time which I am sure will never regret!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I love to look at the stars!. But there are cloudy skies and it stops me! Just like life, there are cloudy days!. So I write in my journal or read a good book!.

I try to spend my time being happy, it's not always so but under my circumstances I think I am doing ok =) I'm still alive!. Being with loved ones definitely helps!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I stopped smoking about five years ago so that I could learn more about what I was truly feeling!. Last year I stopped coffee!. I can only now begin to know what feels good to me really!. I think we spend a lot of time doing things that keep us from our feelings!. Like we can't handle the truth of who we are and what we have to offer!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Some, yes!.

Others, no, because I am not able!.

Eventually, I will be able!.

For instance, no matter how much a student wishes to practice medicine, he or she cannot until they're licensed -- etc!.




Instead, I focus on getting there; to that place at which I CAN do everything I want to do!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

One has to earn one's bread and butter too!

So, its not always possible to do what one wants to do or what makes him feel good!. Compromise is inevitable! Be it in job/profession or relations!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I try to!.
But I also try to always put others before myself too!. And trying to fill my needs, along with everyone else's can become very hard!. But I still find time to do all of that!.
