    What do you want to have done/achieved/left behind by the time you die?

    I want to:

    -Publish at least one book
    -Raise a kid
    -Get a phd
    -Participate in something that makes a positive impact on the world. Details currently unspecific, but will include solving problems that cause suffering.

    There are other things I want to do, like eat a packet of crisps, but those are the major things. If I do that, I'll die a happy man.

    Not sure about what career I'll do or actions I'll take (so no specifics yet), but I just want to get to a point where I know myself better and like that person, know that I've been an important part in someone's life to make it better, have more friends, and also making a positive impact (maybe something like fundraising). I guess I don't really care what I end up doing as long as it feels right and it brings me happiness.

    - get my degree this year.
    - get the job I want.
    - save money, get my own place.
    - travel the world.
    - build my own house.
    - leave a legacy of some description.

    (in that particular order)

    That would probably complete my life, I'm quite easily pleased :slight_smile:

    I honestly don't know. Every dream I have had has gone nowhere so I have given up having them.
