I first decided on my life goals when I was a teenager - they have changed a little over the years but are mostly the same as they have ever been. Most of the changes have been deciding how I evaluate if I have succeeded in meeting the goals rather than the base goal itself. Additionally I set targets of what I want to achieve in the next month, six months, year, 2 years, 5 years and 10 years......
My life targets in basic form are:
- to live on a canal boat
- to spent more of my waking time doing what I choose than doing what is needed to pay bills
- to make as many friends as possible and as few enimies as possible
- to never do anything that I regret enough for it to worry me a month later
- to learn something new every day
- to always strive for the best in life without being snobby or pretentious about it
The last one is a promise I made to myself when I was 12!
