I would like to marry the right person and have enough money that it is not a constant worry. I want to be a Sifu and have my own kwoon, and eventually make my own charity or foundation to teach martial arts - like KungFuGrrrl's FOCUS charity, which teaches Chinese martial arts to survivors of domestic violence, which I absolutely love to help/work with. We spend so much time talking and plotting... I want to travel, to write. I've always wanted to write something truly important. I definitely want a family.
Then there are the littler things, like how I want to own real estate, a cafe, buy a couple horses...
I think, in general, that if I can die in peace and knowing that I've done everything that truly mattered to me in my heart, I'll be okay.
I'd love to be able to be as noble and giving as some of the people on this thread. Don't get me wrong, I'm quite a nice person, but I'm all about the money at the moment. I want to live the good life with my fiance and have more than enough to be able to do what we want to do. I probably take it for granted at the moment but I work hard for my money.
The same as most I would love to have children, though not for a few years yet, and be able to have the financial security to actually spend time with them growing up.
I would also love to have my own dojang/gym down the track. I don't know about making it a full time career, but who knows.
Oh, and one other thing. I will have a WRX Sti (but thats just me).
I would have people respond to my posts! They may not be exciting, but they are realistic questions that I REALLY need help on. SO swallow your "Cool" pride and use your experiences to answer some of my realistic questions, with educated/experienced replies of course!" Contribute knowledge/experience, don't "pretend"! I read books and mags as well, but I am looking for first hand, hard hitting experience with sparring gear, not what "Billy-Joe-Jim-Bob" used in the Grand International Trailor Court Finals to win the coveted "padded Seat Cover Award."
What would make my life perfect?
I dont want a perfect life.
I enjoy a challenge and the ability to say that
I have endured hardships that no one else has.
Of course I want to be happy .
But at this moment and at this age(17) ,
I dont know what it is that will make me happy ,
but I'm sure having a great time finding out
And I think thats what the best part of life is,
searching for whatever it is that will make you happy
One more thing I do not feel complete, nor do I feel incomplete
I try to live each day in the present and to make that day as perfect as I can make it ... but nothing is ever perfect and you can never be truly satisfied otherwise how can you ever strive for improvement?
I think it was Churchill who said "to improve is to change and to be perfect is to change often. "
... and its a good thing 'cos I love change whereas some people fear it !
2) To be an extraordinary parent. (I have a few years before I start worrying about that)
3) To prove to the world and to myself that I am a warrior, and to compete in a fighting league and win more than half of my matches. And forever be known as a martial artist.
4) To have an out-of-body experience
5) Become a 2nd degree black belt (or higher) in 4 or more martial arts.
Read :"Out Of Body Experiences And How to Achieve Them" (30 days to the most exciting experience of your life!) By a guy called Rick Stack. His no nonsense approach is great!
Yes. And I had some good experiences. but much to my shame I didn't stick at it. (I moved to Canada just when I was getting good, but the general mess of sorting out a place to live, getting a job, working kind of got in the way.)
I'd recommend that book coz its dead straigh forward. A lot of New age reading I find tends to be a bit wishy-washy like pointless ceromonies, or tying one topic into another (ie, you would have to be a practicing wiccan and have to perform some elaborate ritual or someting to Project.)
This guy isn't like that. Its just astral projection in a nutshell. He goes through everything, evidence of astral projection, what you can do, common questions, and a step by step guide in how to project.
What I really likeis the fact that he doesn't elaborate on all this spirtiual side, its just left there for you to explore. have a read. I've just given it to one of my mates.
I... really don't care, actually. I could die right now and I wouldn't care too much (my family would be sad, only reason I would care). Crappy job, school isn't going as well as I would like it to, no girlfriend, and I have about 7.5 years of that to go before I can think of making my life better. Basically, my future looks so bleak that it wouldn't be much of a loss to die now.
Are you kidding??? She's 65, lives in Switzerland and made a guest apperence on Ellen yesterday. She even sang Proud Mary for the first time in Many many years. Rock on!!!
