It's been a struggle to find this out. But mainly, I wanted a good life with my wife and children by the grace of God.

lol...in life? well, since I'm only 26, that's still subject to examination. I do find a lot of personal fulfillment in my job, and it took me a few years to finally get there. I knew it when I was able to smile about what I'm doing (considering my past careers in finance I can safely say money has nothing to do with it since I make a lot less than I used to) and not mind working 7 days a week sometime 16 hrs a day. I'm constantly talking to others about what I do, and encouraging young people like myself to get involved (part of the reason I like this site so much). No cliches intended, but just don't stop looking, you'll know when you find what you want, be it a loving wife/girlfriend, a job you can brag about, a hobby you can't get enough of. I will point out one thing though, studies have found (and these are true empirical ones in social studies that I'm referring to btw, such those conducted by the Centre for a New American Dream) that people focused upon the attainment of stuff (cash, cars, houses etc.) are less fulfilled and more depressed than people who seek fulfilment through alternative measures. They have shown that by taking up new hobbies, learning a musical instrument, getting out of the house more and tuning out your tv, people are happier. It's a little food for thought, hope it helps.

I am still searching for what I want in life. One day I believe that a career helping to empower women would make me most satisfied, the next day I am considering whether or not I should pursue more education to reach that goal to where I will be educationaly qualified to help people on a social scale. And unfortunately, my interpersonal relationships are much the same way. I think I know what I want to do and then I get confused about it all again. I am not sure I will ever arrive at what I really want in my life.

I think that who knows this didn't live enough yet... Life is a daily experience with new goals to set everyday. For example, i always wanted a nice daughter and i have one now so i also want a nice boy. After this i want a nice life for them and after this... There is no answer, so i would say that i wish everyone to have the strength to walk on the right way and Enjoy !

The thing I thought most about. When I try to clear my mind, the first thing that pops up. It SHOULD be pretty obvious. Whatever you can't get out of your head, no matter what. hope thats not to broad or cliche!

All I ever really wanted in life is happiness. I've been searching for that happiness ever since I came to America.

By trying the things that interested me until I found what I really enjoyed the most. If you gravitate toward something, you are interested in it. What interests you?
