Do you feel you are getting what you want out of life?

I have achieved most of my goals in life that I set when I was 18 years old. I wanted to buy a home, learn how to drive, get a car, have children and travel to different countries. I bought my cottage when I was 19 years old and I kept it until I was 33 years old. Then I had a modern terraced house for 5 years. Last year I moved to a semi detached bungalow. It took me years to learn how to drive and I finally passed my practical driving test in February of last year. I have got a five door blue car. I have traveled to more than 50 different countries. I was 20 to 21 years old when I traveled around world.

Actually in this life you can't really get all you want. Why? Because each time we get what we want, another want would come. It is man's nature to be unsatisfied. He is always wanting for something new. So as for me I'd say I've gotten many things I want in my life but I would agree that I want many more and I have realized it is impossible to fully satisfy my human desire. However I've learned to just enjoy and be grateful for whatever things I got and accomplished. Contentment is the key to happiness. It is not in the abundance of things we got and accomplished but how do we enjoy and appreciate those things we got and achieved. So as for me I don't really mind if I have not really gotten all my wants because all the blessings I've gotten are more than what I truly deserved. So in this life's journey I have learned to be content in whatever state I am and have decided to live this temporary life to please first and foremost God before I please myself.

I think that I am getting what I want out of life. My husband is 66 and I am 46. We're both at the point where we want the quiet life. So we bought a house in Tennesse and we're blissfully happy. Now my parents and my daughter and son in law are working on moving down. So now I won't be happy by myself I'll have my family around me. My house is unfolding very nicely, as I'm slowly still unpacking things. I have already done my duty as a mother and raised a wonderful, caring daughter who is now starting her own life with her husband. And i've done my job as a provider when I worked in Maryland. I feel that this is my time to relax and enjoy the rest of my life with my husband. That's exactly what we're doing.

Life tends to be a rather interesting thing, as there are many times where we feel like that we are getting all we can out of life. Then there are other times where we feel like that no matter what, we are not getting all we want and need out of life. It tends to be a roller coaster ride for a lot of us, myself included, as we hang on and hopefully enjoy the ride. Right now, I am rather pleased with what I am getting out of life. At least for the moment. Still the fact that I am pleased for the moment, that is something that I consider to be the greatest victory imaginable. The journey can be something that can be enlightening to say the very least. We just got to enjoy the most that we can out of life. It can be quite the experience to say the least. So just hopefully life leads to something great.

Enough to recover their own ideas.

hi:) I think your lucky that you already achieved your goals, and whatever that new goal is I wish you can achieve it too, goodluck with you on that:) as for me no, I still have so many goals to fulfill and I hope I will achieved it too anytime soon, I only pray to God that I will.

Yes, I think I do. I was able to finish my studies, married the man that I want to spend the rest of my life with, we have a cute baby boy and I have a stable job. Of course, as a normal human being, my desire in life is never ending. I still have other goals in life that I want to accomplish. Me and my husband right now is focusing on our son's welfare, we are trying to save as much money as we could and trying to be the best parents our son could have. We also want a house and lot from our hard work, to have a business, to have a big family car and to accomplish some future travel plans. We've got a long way to go but I know we can get there together.

Congratulations! It's good that you have done a lot of things in your life.Well don't pat too much attention on the results I think,because most of the time it may take some time to reach the goal. Good luck to you!
