uhm...I know my idea of "having a great life" thus far is different than others, but after all, it's what I care about, not what other people think...
...anyway, I guess I look at it to start off like the others here...got a great education, finished tops in my class...worked hard for it. Got a great job, though 9/11 screwed pretty much everything in my industry up, luckily my company is strong and stable...I own a house, and just purchased my first piece of land (5 acres in the hills above the Columbia river), and am planning on building my dream home, (or a smaller version of it to start)... w/in the next couple years...all before I'm 30...
Sure there are days that suck...heck there are weeks that suck at a time...but in the end seems the positives outweigh the negatives. I might not be crazy and adventurous like the lot on these boards...but I've done what I could thus far to say I've had this "great" life so far. |

i can't remember much in my life but this is what i did this year that was a mass stand out.
Went to this place called Outward Bound and did some crazy .
It lasted for 3 weeks and every morning we had to wake up 6am or earlier (depending what we were doin) if we were at the school (camp place) we would have to do a hard out warm up (4 lots of 20 Push ups, Sit ups, squats and bicep curls:eyespop: and ya ush stretching) then go for a 3.5 km run then jump in the sea to wake us up (in freezing). We went on Tramps that were extreme, snowed too and some ppl got mild hypothermia. Views were ing wikid tho. Sailing on extreme windy days, sometimes 10 km runs during the day. Then waited for the big one, a 22km half marathon:crazy: :eyespop: :eyes: :whip: on the second to last day, i managed to finish it in 2 hrs 30 mins which i was ing happy about! All this and no music for 3 WEEKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i was defo going thru some withdrawl symtoms. I was extremely happy i did it and think it's my biggest achievement yet:happy2: and i'm still 17 so i got a way to go. |

how about Why?
im not supporting the idea of a routine though,, i just dont see any reason to leave some tremendous legacy behind me, i dont even see a reason to perpetuate the en species, but thats a diffrent topic. |

i have life goals that are a lot higher on a "the acheivement level" than the stuff i have mentioned, but then again im only 20 and i have lots of time to acheive my life goals :)
ask this question to people who are 70 and im sure you'll get worthy answers ...
as of today and now, im pleased with life as is...and i dont take a second of it forgranted ... so a lot of things feel like accomplishments to me :) |

ur lucky. when i think back on my life achievements isee lil minor things that i put no work into and no effort. i feel what cards i have been dealt are not even worth my effort. and i need more. alot more. but i dont know where to start. I tried starting my own company. but it isnt a field i want to excel in. and therefore i could careless abt it. However it is the only field i know best and the only field i have enough knowledge to make money off of, so for the money i do it and nothing more. I work a lowsy 7-5 job and come home exhausted to the point i dont feel like doing anything put hauling my ass in front of a tv or comp. however i still work on my company and do homework for night classess i take. but routine is hell. i need to tackle something huge and i dont know where to look. thats the basis of my rant. thats it thats all. i think i need to take a vacation solo soon and just relax and map out. |

we all feel this way .. the biggest question in everyone's life is "am i ever a contribution to the society or the sake of humanity?" .. i ask myself the same question all the time .. am i dragging people behind with what i am doing? .. why am i such a screw up when i see everyone else succeeding ahead of me?..
everyone has different prespectives to living the full life.. it all depends on what you see as "the meaning of life" is ? .. everyone has a different meaning.. you may see someone who sees life in the same prespective as you .. but that's what makes people unique .. everyone has their own special thought to what life is and how they want to live it..
you seem like you are bored and tired of your current life.. tired of the monotonous tone of the drum you are stepping to .. i know how you feel .. you can always change that by going a different direction when you go to work .. or eating lunch an hour later or earlier .. if that doesn't work, then a road trip always works .. :happy2: |
