One Thing
I am not trying to sound morbid, just curious?
What is your one thing? What one thing in life do you want or need to accomplish before it is all over?

Re: One Thing
For me, I think, I just need to find some long lasting inner peace. The last few years, I find myself easily stressed. I find it harder and harder to deal with the bull shit. And, I KNOW WE ALL HAVE OUR OWN SHIT to deal with.
I would also like to feel good enough. I am not sure why? However, I never feel like I am good enough. Not smart enough, successful enough. I am told I am surely going to Hell.
Is this too much to ask, I wonder ?

Re: One Thing
For my Dad? He just wanted to win a MILLION DOLLARS.
Someone I just spoke with wants to read through the entire Bible.
And, for me another one. I'd like to be secure. Secure in a relationship, and financially. I believe this is a given.

Re: One Thing
hi kiss
For me getting my book published is a big one. Something that my kids and grand kids will have forever. I think you know I am a recovering alcoholic and have learned of things thru a a some good, some not so good. But learning how to mediate is really a neat thing, I can put myself in a place away from all my troubles and woos even if it is temporary. I lived the life I wanted gave up all the high paying jobs, the picket fences. But I was really happy
my family thought I was nuts. I lot of my friends though the same. I have things that no one can take from me. you have the one thing I will never have and that is beauty, be proud of it Kiss, let no one take that from you. you are one of a kind. OCB

First of all...Your very special to more people than you may think, and your good enough to everyone but yourself, ..you are always putting others before yourself. I've seen you do it on a constant basis, always trying to help someone in need. Your intelligence level is very high, you will bring up something I said from two years ago, and quote it word for word..Your one of the smartest people I've ever had the pleasure to run across. Success is measured on a personal level...I know people who have no material things , and live in a shack,...yet a few feel they are at the top of their game , they are a success at being content with their lives. I also know some people with incredible wealth, some feel success, others are driven to madness just managing what they have,...Your wealth I believe...Comes from the people that surround you as friends, and they see that spark of a decent person.....As far as you going to Hell....Consider the source of that judgement, and where it came from...And Honey...I have seen you defend a friends honor, as well as your own, but I have NEVER seen you throw the first stone.

Endless ?.....That would require living within half an hour of a town,....or purchasing a Chocolate Plantation.You may also find you'd be over 300 pounds in a short while.

Eat. And do as my Grandmother did. She grew up with Queen Victoria on the throne so lived through 2 world wars and the depression and brought up 7 children so was a wise old bird!
If she was being hassled for payment of bills she explained her system to them:
"At the end of every week I see how much money I have left and put the names of everyone I owe money to into a hat and draw out two of them to pay. If you keep hassling me, your name won't even go into the hat!"
She said it was very effective...

I totally get it...I haven't worked outside the home in many years and I'm always being asked what am I doing. It seems that if I do not have a job or career, I am percieved as something less.
The thing is...people develop their own opinion of what they believe success is. Trying to live up to the standard of the opinion and definition of success of so many other people is just a huge waste of living. We ourselves do not want to judge others, but yet...we lessen the quality of our own lives because of the judgement of others?
My sister is considered hugely successful at her career but really, her life is a failure, he children and husband resent the priority of her career, her marraige has always sucked and her life's focus is on her job, designer labels, and being invited and included in on every social event. I have seen her angry and absolutely crushed for long periods of time because she didn't get a wedding invite from someone she doesn't even know that well. I do not see her misery as successful at all.
Go for the inner peace!
Anger is the one main hurdle to being at peace. People are screwed up and will always be doling out the bullshit. I have accepted that, and I find that I don't get angry much anymore when I'm wronged but my mind will immediatly go to not what they have done, but why they have done it, why they behave the way they do. It's not an excuse for them, it's about me...it's about me being able to have tolerance and insight, and that brings me closer to being a better person.
That is my goal of success, to at least be a little better of a person every day than I was the day before.

Re: One Thing
The one thing I am sure of. I'd like to spend a month in Germany & Switzerland to see the places my family came from. I'd also like to talk to the top brass in the D.O.D. I've always felt very strongly that every man that was part of the 1sttwo waves of the landing of Omaha Beach & Okinawa should be awarded at least a bronze star & some deserve a silver star.. lastly I'd like to win the lottery so I could help underprivileged kids go to college & get a good education whereas they otherwise couldn't afford I.... & show them a life other than gangs & drugs. & I'd like to buy a ENORMOUS chunk of wilderness just for wildlife. There's no loggers cutting trees there...
No hunting.... no homes or resorts. Just a safe haven for the animals

Re: One Thing
"One thing!"
Well if I had to choose, it would be patience. With ppl, colleagues, friends and family.I tend to loose patience with ppl who don't think b4 they utter words that can do more harm than good.
Others would include, b eing a better father to my kids and a better husband to my wife. And 4giveness...I cannot understand wot a person is/was thinking when they hurt other ppl! Growing up dirt poor has made me a better person also. Broken shoes,when I went to school, hand me down clothes growing up. Even a simple pleasure like having a t.v set, growing up. We never had 1. I bought my 1st bike @ age 20, taught myself to ride. 2 yrs ago I bought my son his (2nd) "big bike and taught him how to ride.
I feel that I need to succeed, where my parents "kinda" failed. Like reading bedtime stories. Hearing the words " I love you" evryday.My dad was an alcoholic, lost his family and eventually died a lonely life. After many yrs of hating him, I 4gave him and allowed myself to move on in life. I know I was loved, but now realise I needed to hear it more often. I kiss my kids goodnight and tuck them into bed and say,"I love you" when I walk in the door after a long days work, I kiss them and say,"I love you"
I guess after reading all this, I still gots a long way to go.....but I am rich....bought a house, finally got my drivers lisence, and have gained more understanding than I ever had in my life. I am rich...
Cannot w8 to eventually meet my grand kids 1day. (Pray that GOD spares me to that ripe old age)
Wow....lots to do and see. Throughout every hardship I have lived, I have gained strenght and understanding...I am rich.
Ps
But winning the lotto would'nt b a bad thing also. Lol.
