what's the one thing that you want to accomplish in your life that will allow you to die satisfied?

Question

whether it be some sort of relationship, spiritual or emotional accomplishment, or something physical. what do you guys think?

Answer 1

To raise my children right. To love and be loved.

Answer 2

I don't know anymore. Being a mother is my first and foremost purpose and I know that God wanted me to devote my life to my children. There is no greater joy or reason for living. Nothing could have brought me more satisfaction in life than this. They are still young and need me, but since my son fell ill, I don't really feel as strong physically or spiritually as I did before all this. I feel like my safety net is forever gone whereas I never ever thought that our lives could change so drastically, and that horrors such as this could befall us.

So I just don't know anymore. There are no guarantees in life and I think people feel invincible, especially young people, and I dont want to end up frightening people but every day you live is a blessing, because you just don't know when that ill fated wind might blow your way.

Every day we make a difference to each and everyone we come in contact with. That is why people always say after losing someone, I didn't know what I had until it was gone. Only without someone you've loved, will you ever really know the full value of thier lives on earth here and the empty space that lives within your heart that they occupied. Such is true of friends, neighbours and acquaintences too...they all leave a residue on your psyche.

Answer 3

Just living a good life man. Im a young teen and a DJ and I KNOW Im better than half the DJs out there (cheap plug for my DJ site www.myspace.com/djtrinid). I dont just DJ to sound cool i take the **** seriously like its my life, but right now im just dead broke trying to make it into the big times and get new equipment and stuff. So just having a successful DJing/Music Career and meeting a beautiful women that I'll love and having kids is all I would like to do that will allow me to die satisfied. Very good question by the way.

Answer 4

That I will love the people closest to me so well that any one moment I could die they always know that they are deeply, completely loved. Hopefully I will have my own family before I die! And what I want to accomplish is appreciating and treasuring them all every day and night of my life, including myself, being really good at loving - my partner, our children, my parents, siblings, friends.
This is really funny because I am very ambitious and still single and go after my own dreams like crazy but when it comes down to it this what I most care about before I die!
That I have lived fully

Answer 5

To build Dads House, a Domestic Violence Shelter and Parenting Education Center for fathers and children.

Studies on Domestic Violence Against Women, often show that the women can be just as violent as the men. One DOJ study, "Prevalence, Incidence, and Consequences of Violence Against Women: Findings from the National Violence Against Women Survey" shows that 39% of the victims are men, though you have to go to page 7 of this 16-page study to learn that.

According to the Dept. of Justice Study (DOJ) "Murder in Families," mothers account for 55% of all fatal child abuse (fathers 8%, stepmothers/girlfriends for 9%, stepfathers/boyfriends 10%) even when taking into account custody arrangements. In thinking about this, one has to wonder who else these mothers were abusive toward?
