Goals and daydreaming.
When you set up goals and possibly daydream about what you want, what do you imagine?. I tend to imagine these things with details sometimes. It's a lot of fun and if I have enough money...Who knows what'll happen, some of it might come true.
Here's mine: My careers will be graphic arts and doing massage work, both part time. So I will have two careers together. So I will basically work full time except that I have two part time jobs. I plan to move around to other countries by working temp at massage places else where in the world. When I do this, I'll close down my place for a while. Maybe I'll fill in for people who get sick, go on maternity leave, go on vacation or something. My own house. Of course I'll be living within a half hours drive of the ocean. Because I am just that type. Of course I'll be putting up solar power because that's what I believe in. Bedroom, living room, studio, bathroom, garage and kitchen and cellor. A 1/2 acre yard with my own garden and dog pen. Will be linned by fruit trees and a privacy fence so I can lay nude in the grass. In one corner they'll be a small pond with a bench. Free standing gazabo style massage room. In the middle is the massage table with enough room for me to move freely around it. One of the side walls consists of a long window covering the whole wall. One end has the door in, which is after a small overhang. The other end has a toliet and a curtain for clients to change and if needed use the facilities ( getting massage if you have to "go" is icky. The other long wall holds a 210 inwall aquarium. This aquarium houses a single jardini or leichartdi arowana. When I'm waiting for clients, I'll sit there and watch my arowana with my chi on my lap. My studio will be divided into career stuff and hobby stuff with a curtain in the middle. Obviously hobby work will go on one side and career stuff on the other side. The career side will have my graphics stuff and the hobby side will have sculpture. They need to be separate both because they don't mix because I like keeping career and personal life apart. Reference books, portfolio shelves on the career side. Wall cabinants and more references on the hobby side. I'll be getting a rescued chihuahua who will go with me everywhere. That's why I'd choose a chi, because they travel well due to their small size. The chi would be allowed to lie in the massage room if the client was OK with it, if not the chi would be locked up in the dog pen with toys. My garden would be used for simple sustinance. Growing a few easy to care for veggies and berry bushes. I'd be growing wild roses around my home because I love the way they smell and take me to another place. I am far too independent for traditional marriage. But I'd like to get married and have my partner live within easy walking distance. We'd do stuff together and then go home to our own homes when we tired of each other. |
Ahhh...great. n_n
Recently I daydream that I beat the odds and passed Spanish, graduated college and moved as far away from this place as I could. That I finally live on my own and I'm okay with it, I have a job doing anything, and I finally feel like I can work toward and achieve greater things instead of feeling so lost and stuck. The goal is just to graduate college...but I hope it will lead to so much. Bigger goals, I don't have right now since there are so many question marks surrounding next year, let alone five years in the future, but I daydream all sorts of nonsense for that ranging from everything from me working in the laboratory of a museum doing analysis, to me teaching English in Korea....all sorts of ideas and wishes I have, but who knows which will happen and which won't, so I'll think and dream over them all. |

Also, I like to daydream about being a professional illustrator, and I usually think about all the other details that I think will help me achieve this, such as start organizing my portfolio as soon as possible (something I haven't done yet). Besides career goals, other things I think about are related to my love life - wedding plans and such. I have it all in my head now. Bwahahaha. I am also known to plan my birthday parties seven months earlier. <3 |
I think my goal of being an author has pretty much sucked up all my daydreaming time. I spend most of that time daydreaming about what part in my book I need to write next. Well, sometimes I daydream about sitting through an interview or what the summary on the back of my book will say. X3
Besides that I daydream about someday working for a big movie design to make computer animated special affects, or when I'm daring I dream about working for Pixar. Oh, if only. |
Many of the things i daydream about, include thinking up plots for my one day book.
For the future, my dreams include the following. Work: As a zoologist, would consist of managing or co managing my own conservation park/game reserve somewhere, preferably England, but that's not essential. My work will take me all over the globe, to many exciting places. I will also be heavily involved in new age/psychic work, and occasional writing work, including my book. Abode: I have the dream of owning a house around the corner from me, which is beyond beauty in my eyes. Only, i'd like to live on the fringes of the country somewhere. The house would have five bedrooms, the master one, mine, facing the rising sun. I would have a four poster bed, white furniture and many quirky items. In the rest of the house, would be old traditional style furniture, with my own fancies. Other rooms include the main front room, kitchen, study, and animal room, where i would keep most of my contained animals. The outside facade would be traditional brick, with ivy growing around the white Victorian style windows. The front door would be white, and made of heavy wood, with a Stirling silver knocker and letterbox. The garden would be expansive, with mature trees, wildflowers and a pond. There would also be a small summer house tucked up in one corner. There would be a run for quails i'll have as well. Relations/Pets/Transport: I have three variations on the relationships. One where i'm happily married, and happily childless, one where i have a few of my hypothetical 4/5 children, and the other where i live on my own or with a friend(s), with or without a significant other. For pets, i will have many exotic species, including millipedes, turtles, tortoise, lizard, chameleons, fish, frogs,..You get the idea. I will have two Siberian huskies, that will have the run of the house and garden, and travel with me. Also quails and a horse. For transport i would have, a tatty old land rover and a yellow VW Beetle. Lord knows how things will really turn out...If even only a few of these things come to me, i'll be happy. |
Uhm my goal for now is finding a new job cause the last one ended
last friday, it was season work. So now I'm trying to find something new, and also getting my own house again. |
I dream of being a successful writer living in an apartment in Chicago with my bestest friend on the whole world. And have a not-live-in boyfriend who I happened to meet in the most romantic way. (The most romantic way is still to be determined.) For some reason, I always think about what food me and my roomy will have in our fridge. And the movies we'll have. I want my own car that is automatic (I can't drive stick shift yet and from that one fateful incident, I dont ever want to drive it again.) I want to be going to college and have classes in mythology, archaeology, and anthropology.
Oh, and after me and my boyfriend get married, I want to have one kid and then adopt another kid from some foreign country. And I want to travel to lotsa places. (I don't know where I'd live after I got married. We'd wait for a while until we had kids and we'd live in an apartment until we had kids I guess.) |
I want to be rich. And skate loads
|
Being valedictorian.
Winning a cross country meet (won't happen this year, maybe by senior year I'll get lucky) Having some sort of career that make people think I'm great. Having a social life. Yeah I'm a competitive bugger, aren't I? |
Meh... Mine are sorta out there, but with the help of my art teacher, I may be able to do it.
I hope to go to an art school as soon as I get out of high school, but that dream is very far off and near-impossible, it seems. I don't have the money for crap, so I almost can't even see it happening... And after I graduate from that school, I want to have some sort of job that I enjoy--something dealing with art, of course. I have no clue what, yet, though.. As for the house... I want a two-story house. ;-; I loves stairs much... I have more, but they're somewhat personal and I dun want to get into them. >> |
At this point in time (tsk, tsk, using so many cliches, Kenric, not good :o), all I can think of is graduating college. It's been a pretty tough year in all aspects of my life so I hope I will soon so I can start working seriously.
As for goals, I prefer doing the short term planning thing for now. Foremost on my mind is to find a full time job with acceptable work hours so I can also do some freelance jobs on the side. Idealistic, I know, but who knows? Maybe I'll find one like this. So that I'll be able to save up for when I move out. It's inevitable anyway, one of my brothers already did (and just waiting for me) so I'll probably start by sharing living expenses with him. I have another alternative life (lol). It's riskier but packed with more adventure and it involves an uncle of mine who's been inviting me to go work where he's working. I won't get into anything more than that. So yeah, I got these two choices for now. |
Sometimes I think I daydream too much, forget whats real. |
My goals career-wise are to eventually stop doing bar work because it doesn't pay well at all. I'm already a qualified beauty therapist/masseuse/make-up artists but have pretty much given up on that because it bored me somewhat.
But I have plans to study web-development... maybe... the thing with me is I tend to change my mind a lot... so we'll see what actually eventuates. Life-wise I want to get married next year at some point and start traveling. My partners a chef and he wants to learn more about cooking, so we're going to travel and eventually set up a restaurant somewhere out there in the world. Oh its all so very easy to say it.. its a matter of doing it now *sigh* |
I have to agree!...massage work IS boring. Not terrible boring, but if you're the type who likes a bit more mental stimulation, you'll be getting bored with massage very quickly.
Basically doing massage is a arobic sp? workout where you need to memorize moves and time your self carefully. So you need to spend X amount of time on each body part ( unless requested to spend extra time on something) and the whole session needs to last 50 min. This is known as a professional hour. I'm still working on timing myself better. Sometimes I take 40 min and sometimes 1.5 hours. I never thought I'd ever be in physical work given how much I crave mental stimulation and working with my mind. Can't help it, I have to provide what the economy wants and not what suits me perfectly if I want to avoid poverty. I'm sure many others are going on the same pretense. |
I don't really daydream. I don't really have.. any goals.
I want to have what I have now: a disposable income. But that leaves you with your teenage years. It's a fleeting, precious thing.. *laughs* I want what anyone wants, I suppose. I want a steady job so I can have a steady income so I can buy the movies and books and games I'll watch when I'm not busy working for the man. I want to take a week's vacation every year and go to the beach. I want to have a decent car, a cat or two, and a big TV. And I want to try salmiakki. |
Hmm...mine would be, having a boyfriend while i'm in college/university while i'm trying to be a vet, that's if, theirs isn't a lot of people wanting to be that, if their is then I will try to be a doctor, I better start working hard these last two years. :3
When I finish graduating, i'd try to find a job at what i'm going to be, if it's a high paying job, i'd like to live in a two story house, i've always wanted too. :3 My bedroom would have my own bathroom and for my two puppies, if the house has 4 rooms, then both of them would have one, another one would be for my parents would be living with me when they're growing old because I don't want to stick them in a retirement home and the other one would be my office. :3 I'd like to have an island in the kitchen, because it's cool. I want a spiral stair step leading to my upstairs. I would like a basement that's finished, a garage, a laundry room, so I wouldn't have to go to the garage like I do now. I would like to drive an cadillac esclade. xD Uhm...I'd like to have a nice backyard that is spacey, enough for an inground pool x] and many more stuff. I don't want a hill backyard, because those are no fun. I don't want trees in it either, just a clear field. xD Maybe I would like my house next to a school, just incase I decide to have kids. :3 OH! I want a porch outside of my house because you can just sit there and chill :cool: xD Anyways, yeah, that's all I can think of now xDD |
My goal is to run my own sandwich shop! :D I plan on going to school and taking business classes and saving up as much money as i can from odd jobs to buy a place to build my shop, and right now my daydreaming is basically me planning my menu, and planning where everything will be placed, and the colors, and the wall paper, floors, lights, decorations!! it's amazing how into i'm getting. XD I just really do want to run my own shop, i like making sandwiche's for people and meeting new people, so it's my goal and my dream!!~ ^__^
