Goals and Dreams

[Quoth]

What are some of your goals and dreams? Tell us, and keep us updated! Let us be there to encourage you in them. I for one would love some accountability in my life that I unfortunately don't get from friends or family. So, what do you want to accomplish:

By the end of next week?
> I want to actually gross $800 again for my paycheck. That means working the rest of this week as planned, then next week working my butt off with 62 hours. That means that I'd have to work eight shifts.

By the end of next month?
> I want to have a new job and finally have all my paperwork in order.

In six months?
> I've got a quit-date in set for September, where I will quit smoking completely.

In a year?
> I want to have enough money saved up for my motorcycle and be living comfortably.

By the end of next month?
> Have my small business up and on its feet while I take my classes, to not suffer from daily back and neck pain, and to get back my fluency en Espanol.

In a year?
> Finishing the novel I'm co-writing with my girlfriend, doing the college thing, and going back to my job as a currency trader so I can start investing to ensure that my grandchildren will be so rich they light expensive cigars with hundred-dollar bills when they retire, officially popping the question.

Our homework, kids, is to update this daily on our progress. You will be personally hassled by that shady Skellington fellow via private messaging if you do not check in and/or have not made progress. I expect the same of you all if I do not check back.

We now return you to the regularly scheduled thread.

So I'm going to be Debbie Downer right now and share a little story. Yesterday at my retail job I was talking to another make-up girl and we were talking about where we were in our lives. We're in our late mid-twenties. We work retail. We did everything we were supposed to do. we're still unhappy. I actually don't have any goals right now. I have been this unhappy before but I have never been this dissatisfied. I do not know what I want. I used to have a goal to work towards and then I achieved it and now I'm left with this goal I don't think I really wanted. I just don't see a way out.
If I had to be completely honest about my goals and dreams they would be as follows

By the end of next week?
Maybe clean up the squalor I live in.

Eat less Ramen Noodles

In Six months?
Go back home, and kick around there for while

In six months?
> To have passed all my classes and to consistently have a book I'll be reading "on the side" (Which I have been good at so far, but more so a plan.) Martial arts wise, I need to start doing exercises like lifting weights and building strength, of course not letting up on weapons.

Following the Lord will be a priority and serving him will be a goal that exists now and will persist unto eternity. I may have my doubts, but I will not give up.
