Most of us have different aims, goals in life, but whatever may that be, the question is how to achieve it. I think there is no such human who has no goal in life, else what is the very fundamental of his life if not spent with a purpose.
It is said in the Bible that "A man without a vision will perish" Proverbs 29:18. If he sees life like nothing, what is his purpose too?
When we were young kids, i am sure that your parents have asked you this "What do you want to be when you grow up"... and then you reply, i want to be a .... So that's why our life has a purpose too. God has said it himself, but to more of that, we should obey his will in our life.

Hello ajithlal. I think that every one of us has his own aims, big or small, in his life. I am not an exception as well. I have quite a few aims, some of which have already been reached while some others of which are still waiting to be realized. But of all the aims of mine, I think that my ultimate aim in my life is to be moderately rich financially to live the rest of my life when I get retired in another more than one decade and see my kids getting along with their life and work. Thank you for the nice discussion, friend.

Every body has an aim in life..Whatever we do is meant to achieve something, be it material or metaphysical desire. One person may have lot of aims, and these ambitions also vary time to time.
As a child I craved to have a fairy white frock with a hat and shoes, but now, despite have pretty number of clothes in my wardrobe, I feel that I am not having proper dresses. Similarly, in other aspects of life too, there are uncountable things , which I can count as my unfulfilled desires, or better I say, they are in my wishlist.
As a girl, I aspire to be a good daughter, sister and women. As a person, I long to be ideal according to my principles. I want to follow Gandhi in my commitments and dream to be a capitalist at the same time.. I am very ambitious in my career, but at the same time I am home sick and want to be a good homemaker. Therefore, may of my aims contradict each other so much that I wonder how will I achieve them, or if I fulfill some of them, will it give me content.
If I say what is my aim at this moment, it is to answer your question in best possible way. So let me say what's my greatest aim of life.. and that is to live life in its fullest extent and learn as much as I can, from my own experiences

My aim is just to be happy, I look for that in the smaller things in life these days, I think working to hard for big expectations in life so I look for the smaller things and as I have learnt life is too short to be wasting time on some things...

As we grow up we carry on definitive aims as to what one should become....but alas such dreams never come true.

My aim is to do what I can as hard as I can to make sure that my children grow up right and, even if they don't have everything they want, they should have everything that they need. I want them to know what love is and be able to express love to others. I aim to keep my family together. I aim to show my husband that I love him and hope that my kids will see this, grow up, love the person that they are with, meet someone who has respect for them, etc. I aim to make something better out of my life by someday furthering my education. I aim to hopefully make a change, even if it is small and insignificant so that I can die with dignity someday. I aim to be there for those in need and be the best person that I possibly can. I aim to treat others how I wish to be treated. I aim to pass on at least one good deed a day in the hopes of making someone smile. I aim to be me and not be what everyone else wants me to be. Above all, I aim to enjoy life for everything that it is worth because it is the greatest gift of all.

purpose, aim, destination, target to achieve are the sources which cause a person to work hard and to get that. The person has no goal of life is walking in the darkness of life. we should choose an ideal or target point and after then we should work and work and work for that, we will see that the aim, purpose will come closer to closer of the hardworking person. I had so many ultimate and God had gifted me in result of my hard work. And now I want to take rest and enjoy the peacful life in my this old age.

my main purpose in life when i was young was to see my boys grown & able to take care of themselves. i was always afraid something would happen to me & i would not be able to do that. i barely did, had a bad health problem when my youngest was a senior in high school. now i'm seeing my grandchildren. how blessed i am.

Everyone's aim in life is to be happy,healthy and get a good education. That is only normal and that is my goal in life too.
Except an extra aim of mine would be to experience life to the fullest. I want to be able to face all my fears and just "go for it!"

i think everyone should have their goals in his or her own life,because the person has no goals in life is walking in the darkess in life.i do have goals in my life,from the primary school to university. how pathetic,my goals bacame more reality when i grew up. when i eventually got into the university my goal was to graduate with excellence.and besides,i have another goal deeply rooted in my heart that i need to earn more social experience during my campus life.basing on the reality i need to get these targets to find a better job in the future,another goal in my life.everyone should make a living,right? that is my goal in life,a real one!

Each of us has certain aims in my life and I am glad to tell you that I have certain things or certain aim which is common. IE, To become happy, to have good education , to have good friends, to have good day, to have good personality and most of them have such aims as in common and I love to fulfill those aims or my dreams in a different way. So that I stay different from others.
