Your future

What do people feel about their future and where their life is heading?

What are your main concerns and hopes?
Interesting thread Snake.

Is this like a reality check, or a goal of life question?

If goal of life, I could add a whole bunch of things that would add up to my ultimate goal:

Contented happiness...

This cake is difficult to bake......

As long as my family is healthy then i am always grateful. If life came to living off the land then i would welcome it with open arms
 
I just sat out the back of our house, shared a beer, lit a fire, looked at the stars and enjoyed the evening. The most important thing to me is making the most out of each day. Trading and the markets will probably be there forever, life won't.

Hi Kennas,

It could be whatever you want to add. Reality checks, failure, success, anything. Happiness or lack of due to social pressures, I'm interested in what people think.

Cheers...

That sounds good Rob.
 
I was listening to Harry Chapin on the way home from London this evening and it struck me that he asks the same question, in a round about sort of way:


This is what he reckoned in another tune:


In a whimsical mood.
 
Life without high expectation from others ... that would be just lovely

Nyden, this can be a burden. We often accept such expectations from others and gradually make them our own, setting impossible levels of achievement just to feel we are justifying our existence.

Better for one's health and happiness, imo, to believe that modest aspirations are enough. I personally found when I stopped accepting others' expectations we were all better off. A driven, striving person doesn't usually have the energy for good relationships and the enjoyment of the simple pleasures like a garden, a sunset, or just watching the ocean.

And one other suggestion: have a dog. We can learn so much from the 'in the moment' approach, loyalty and love of dogs.
 
my own business with multimillion dollar turnover by the time im 25, obviously a medium term life goal

Completely agree Julia! They are by your side no matter what! Seriously thinking of buying land to have freedom, clean air, healthy food and a grounded place for my children to grow up.
 
This isn't directly answering Snake's question, but draw your own conclusions from what I say.

I've had the unusual opportunity of mixing with a massive range of people in terms of stature and wealth. I don't want to drop names, but me and the old man used to drink piss with Many of the WA Inc boys. Missus has a few titled relatives here in the UK, so are invited to "society" do's sometimes.

We've also mixed with some of the so called "lowest" in society as well.

My observation is that the best and most interesting people to be around are ordinary "middle class" folk, so long as they don't suffer from status anxiety. They work, or have a business and have enough money to enjoy themselves without being classed as "rich". (Status anxiety is a horrible blight on the middle class. Those afflicted should be avoided at all costs)

The "upper class" and "nouveau rich" are just the most obnoxious bores to be around. The poor generally have a chip on their shoulder; doesn't mean they aren't nice people, they just don't see the world the same way as people who are achieving a little bit.

Obviously there is a hell of a lot of overlap there, but you can see where I'm going with this.

Great comments from Nyden and Julia too IMO.
