what are your Life Goals ?

what are your Life Goals ?

Hi Forum Friends while thinking about where I am at personally in my own life Ive realised Ive lacked confidence and self worth not just in one area of my life but multiple areas because of it seems a mountain of self doubt,not feeling worthy,good enough,lacking a sense of purpose anyway I was thinking about goals and while thinking about goals Ive had trouble recognising what those goals are so Ive decided maybe as a way to not only help myself but help others too to start a thread about what our goals are? what are your goals wether big or small? what are your Passions? or if like me you may need to remind yourself what those goals and passions are anyway hope this thread helps by being able to think of some of your goals in life wether big or small goals they all matter so heres a safe place to share your unique goals or to think of goals you would like to achieve and have support from fellow forum Friends Ill Tag some of you @Former-Member , @ShiningStar @BPDSurvivor , @saltandpepper ,@Oaktree , @Shaz51 , @Jynx , @HenryX,@AussieRecharger , @BlueBay , @outlander, @Lostandalone sorry if Ive forgotten anyone

Re: what are your Life Goals ?

Hi @LostAngel

It’s so lovely to hear from you

Thank you so much for inviting me to participate in this conversation - it’s such a wonderful idea for a thread

At the moment, I’m actively working towards achieving one of my long term goals which is to be able to return to the career that I absolutely love

As such, I’ve created a series of smaller goals that I affectionately refer to as my stepping stars

Each star represents something (for example an activity or an experience) that will support me to be able to achieve my long term goals in a way that’s gentle and realistic

For example, I’ve been participating in therapy on a regular basis so that I can address the issues that are currently impacting my capacity to be able to work.

Similarly, I’ve also been completing some online professional development to ensure that my knowledge and skills remain current.

Although I still have a long road ahead of me, I feel somewhat hopeful that if I keep following my stepping stars, I’ll be able to achieve my long term goals

Thank you so much again for creating such a wonderful thread

Take care of yourself,

ShiningStar

Thanks for tagging me on this thread @Former-Member - and to @LostAngel for putting this idea of life goals out there. It's nice to see what everyone has written and it makes me think about where I'm at too. There's big goals that might be something to work towards over the long term, but mainly I find myself circling back to the constant day to day goals of trying to bring the fractured life I lead together. There are some relationships that I just can't reconcile, where there have been years of alienation. So while I can't seem to bring those harmoniously together, I can keep focused on my goal of working towards strengthening the relationships I do have with my family members. To be honest, this goal and just trying to keep myself emotionally well takes up much of my energy and I think that's okay for now.

Sending good wishes for everyone in pursuing their goals!

Hi @Gwynn and thankyou. My apologies for the belated response; I haven't been at all well these past weeks but am coming out of the darkness now. I could really do with some help in rediscovering and redefining my identity atm so the link you provided is much appreciated. Onwards and upwards. Take care, RedHorse 🌹🐴

Re: what are your Life Goals ?

I just saw this thread now - @LostAngel what a great thread idea! 🌟

Some of my life goals are to be happy. To have fulfilling relationships. To be able to travel and see as much of the beautiful world as I can. To experience as much joy as I can. To see lots of my favourite bands live. To perhaps live overseas at some point. To have cats as pets 😻And some more pragmatic things like having housing and financial security. But most of all I value happiness and wellness 🌻

Hi
What a lovely idea!
I have many passions and for this I looked back to my childhood what I enjoyed. I love communication in any form - writing, speaking and these are my passions - as well as exploring new places and I love music and painting.
I have written many lists of goals over the years but these days my goals are short-term as things always change. I'm currently studying so my main goal at the time is to complete my studies by the end of this year. What are your goals?
Have a wonderful day!
