    have you accomplished what you always wanted in your life? do you feel content with how you have lived your life and if not, what more would you like to achieve? i'm still pretty young so i haven't accomplished a whole lot but i have big dreams.

    If I stop dreaming and wanting more then I don't see a point in going on. I'm happy in life but I always want more. I want a larger house for my family. I want my Jeep. I have always wanted a boat. I want to get back into diving. I want to do more diving and fishing with dad. I would like to do the same with my kids. I want to make Gearhead Central a huge forum (big plans for the site but it will take a lot to get even close). I want to earn more money. I want to put on more muscle and get more cut. I want to build a home theater in the larger house that I want.

    I can go on and on. Without wanting something (even if it is just to smell a new flower), then how can you even crawl out of bed in the morning?

    I really don't think there is anyone who would settle with what they have, no matter how great their portion is in life. So far, I have removed my focus from becoming what I wanted to be years ago. After all, my problem is with not having enough money, not with having a career. I am still working hard at making enough money to completing my dream. Hopefully, it comes through soon.

    I haven't even come close to accomplishing what I want to accomplish in life; I've only just turned 21. Like Rosa and James, I'll never be fully content with what I have. The drive to acquire more is what motivates me.

    No, and what pisses me off is that there are people who are blocking my progress. I certainly haven't accomplished my goals, and I intend to do everything to get past that obstacle.

    Not even close. I always pictured myself as a successful family man with a wife and kids, a decent house and a good job. Instead I'm single, drifting through life and indulging in material things. However, I'd have to imagine that I am the norm these days. I think most people thought their life would turn out drastically different than it actually did. I don't let it get me down though.

    It's good that you don't allow where you are in life now to affect you. However, never compare yourself to others if you need to fulfill your personal goals in life. Just set them and continue to aim high, you'll eventually get there.

    No, but could be worse, lol. It could be better tho, at least health-wise! My health could definitely be better, if only I was OK in that department I'd not mind the rest.

    I have faith things will improve... I can only hope! That hope keeps me going.

    You have the right outlook on life Trellum. A lot of people like to sit around and mope but with all your health issues you still have the view that things could be worst and have faith that things will be better. Thumbs to you.

    Thank you, Rosa :) I do complain a little sometimes, but I really try to ignore that and do my best. I really think it could be worse, things can be better if they never get worse ;) I'd be happy with that.
