What is your goal in life?

[mrshooiser]

My goal was to settle down which I already have been doing, but now im trying to expand my horizons and look to be a professional homemade baker and have more than 2 or 3 customers.

As for a career? I'm happy doing the kind of work I'm doing now, though I'd prefer that there were more blue collar aspects to it. Other than that, I'd love to turn one of the many story ideas I have into an actual novel.

On a personal level? Regardless of what I do in the professional sphere, I just want my children to be 1) faithfully practicing Catholics and 2) happy, balanced, and productive members of society.

And other than all that? Not much. Just to crush my enemies, see them driven before me, and to hear the lamentations of their women.

Retire happily by 40.

At this point, I'm not quite sure. It was to have a family and become an author, but I'm starting to think I might need to settle on just the author part and if a family happens then it will happen, but I can't focus too much on that anymore. I need to focus on what I can control which is publishing my books.

If I can offer corny, baseless, ill-thought-through, I-barely-know-you-but barely-know-myself-either, old man, hackneyed advice for the merest of moments...

Don't settle. Ever.

[Simslover92]

Thanks. I won't.

To grow, to help, and to leave things better than I found them.

A good life isn’t just about achievement, it’s about impact, self respect, and meaningful connections.

Progress over perfection. Depth over noise.

That’s a wonderful evolution of your goal. When I work with people in your situation, I suggest turning that dream into a simple, practical plan:

1. Clarify your niche: What kind of baking are you best at or most excited about?
2. Set a number: For example, “I want 10 regular monthly customers in 6 months.”
3. Build proof: Take great photos, collect reviews from your current 2–3 customers.
4. Promote locally: Friends, neighbors, local Facebook groups, community events.
5. Improve steadily: One new recipe or skill each week.

Your goal becomes: “Create a small, sustainable baking business that brings me joy and a loyal customer base.”

Move back to Florida… find myself a nice home, a beautiful wife and family… and be within close reach of family and friends. And hopefully be to a point where money is of no concern any more… it’s been a long grind even just getting to where I am now, and there much more room to grow.

I over-achieved my goals. I now enjoy the results.
Seeing this insane century unfold, I refuse to set follow-up goals.
Only one thing is left: to get rid of my idiotic neighbour.
Being a peaceful and patient person, I hope for his lethal accident, or some deadly disease coming after him.

I have already accomplished a lot of the major things like graduating college, buying a home, having kids, getting them through college, having a successful career. Now I am concentrating on doing some travelling.

To meet the love of my life, again, and treat her better than I did the first love of my life. And to be a good parent that will always have my children's backs.

I've been in the business sector for 10 years. Amidst all these scammers, I've maintained an honest and reliable business model. Of course, I still have time to expand this globally someday.
