ParticipantHere you can post your dreams and goals. We can encourage each other and give advice. I have accomplished my goal of being at a healthy weight and maintain it by eating healthy and meditating.
My goals:
Learn reiki healing well (heal other people)
improve my eyesight and circulation
rid myself of negative doubt and worry about life
stop being so criticizing of myself
appreciate my talents instead of comparing myself to others
become more spiritually fulfilled
go climb a mountain
learn nuclear engineering, law enforcement, genetic counseling (career paths)
learn some of the talents i admire from my parents such as my mom’s ability to logically think and my dad’s creative cooking
i think I have become a more positive person thanks to the friends i have at school and the people i have on tinybuddha. thanks to helping me on becoming a better person;)

ParticipantI like your goals anita;) I think you have already achieved or are well on your way to “helping others when possible and being humble in helping others.” you give great insight and advice; your positive encouragement helps cheer me up. i think i am going to adopt your goal of “keeping calm day and night” because there are times when i feel stressed and have doubts and the competition in school can be straining at times. whenever i feel strained i think i will do yoga, workout and meditate. Good luck with your goals, anita;)

GuestDear Shirley:
Thank you! To keep calm is very important. Yoga, meditation… whatever it takes, any way that is not destructive, to calm yourself. Good night Shirley!

InactiveShirley,
All your goals are really awesome! 🙂 I very much enjoyed reading your list. Very inspiring!
“whenever i feel strained i think i will do yoga, workout and meditate.”
That is awesome Shirley! As I need to practice more Bikram Yoga, now that my studio has finished its recent re-modeling.
I want to work on learning more about my digestion issues and thyroid.
Learn new recipes on how to cook raw foods. This recipe in particular is on my goal list 🙂 https://youtu.be/ST5UFRyOgl8
For my love and I to talk more often about strengthening our relationship (in person).
Take more walks in the park and explore nature up north in flagstaff & Prescott. I found a few beautiful places already but there’s so many other places up north I haven’t seen or gotten to explore yet.
Be careful and mindful of my daily sugar intake.
Travel somewhere new at least once a year.
Look at my vision board every morning.
Go and support my local farmers market when I am able to.
Have a small wedding somewhere beautiful in the future when the time is right for both me and my future wife.
Continue to be loving, compassionate and understanding.
To listen/pay attention to my tummy and my digestion a little more closely than usual.
Make sure I’m getting 7-8 hours a sleep a night.
Meditate.

ParticipantHi Shirley,
My goals….I have some practical ones (outer) and some inner ones as well:
1) Give back to others; i’m in a position now where i have a bit of experience and seniority and i want to help guide others and pass knowledge onto them.
2) learn and enhance my knowledge of new/ old things
3) Read more….definitely need to read more!
4) Try to cut down on my sugar intake, stick to three meals a day
5) as a result of 4) finally be able to reunite the suit pants with the suit jacket, it’s been too long!!
6) Try to help others on tinybuddha. It seems like there’s a lot of people hurting in the world, maybe i could help some.Matty

ParticipantGreat goals everyone;) Good luck on them;) Elle, when you mentioned that “you and your love need to talk about strengthening your relationship” reminds of something i need to work on myself. i tend to be really shy when i like someone and it takes some time to tell them how i feel. my voice doesn’t squeak or anything, but my heartbeat faster and my mind seems to be in swirls and sometimes my face will turn red if i say hi to them. i would love to have the confidence to tell the people and the guy that i love how much i care about him, but i can only do it in little ways in which i smile at him or talk to him about school or make him laugh, i just can’t talk to him about how much i care about him. I like your goal of being “compassionate, caring and understanding” which exactly what i want to be in life;) matty, i like your goal on giving back to others, my friends and teachers have given me so much and it would be great to give them something in return. i also think i will add the goal of keeping my mind active and continuing to learn since i enjoy learning new things.

Shirley, I know exactly who you feel! I get the same way too about my love when I see her or talk to her. My heart starts to beat so fast and my face starts to glow… I can’t stop smiling when I’m around her 🙂 So I know what it feels like inside when you around someone you deeply love. Wanting to make your guy life is never a bad thing, laughing is so good for you/all of us. <3
“I like your goal of being “compassionate, caring and understanding” which exactly what i want to be in life.”
That is a beautiful thing Shirley, as we all benefit in our daily lives for wanting to be this way. 🙂
Namaste Shirley-

Participantelle, i agree that if everyone could just let negative things go and be more compassionate and understanding of others, we would have less discrimination and more peace in society. there are times when i am stressed and i tend to distance myself from the guy i love because i don’t want him to see me stressed and sometimes he thinks i’m ignoring him, but i’m really not, i just need some time alone to collect my thoughts. it can be hard for both of us at times to see the others’ distress because we wish we could take away the sadness, but sometimes we just need to give each other time to ourselves. yet we should still continue to encourage each other, talk to each other and not hold our negative feelings back until they overwhelm us. the best feeling about being in love with someone is that it makes you appreciate your life and develop more compassion for yourself and others. it also makes you try harder in things you do since you know someone is there to support you. and the important lesson and best thing about love is that even if it doesn’t last, there will always be memories and you have become a better person and you have learned to trust, take chances and also learn to let go. i always believe people come into your life for a reason and i often find the reason for me is to make me appreciate myself more, learn the beauty of life and trust and the importance of love, most of the love i have for people is spiritual. yet, at times sometimes there will be that one person that lights up your world and makes you really experience love and the beauty of what it feels like to be alive and you two share both a physical and spiritual connection. there are times in wish i could be more confident around him, that i could spend more time with him. with all the school stuff and the other guy friends i have with math and science i feel like i am leaving him out at times. i don’t want him to feel like i’m forgetting about him because he means the world to me and i would do anything for him and if i have to let him go i’ll be okay as well.

Participantwow seven years have passed since I last posted on this thread 🥺
I have definitely worked on letting go, healing and reconnecting with people that I love deeply building my confidence. It is better to tell them that you love them rather than wait until it’s too late. Even if they might not feel as you do, knowing love is better than not loving at all. Love makes the world more colorful and helps your soul’s light shine.
Much love and healing hugs all

ParticipantI found this article today https://tinybuddha.com/blog/how-i-lost-30-pounds-by-meditating-and-all-the-things-i-gained/ and saw your post from years ago. I would also like to try what the author says to lose weight. Essentially she used meditation to quiet her mind so that she can hear the thoughts that would improve her life and she acted on it. Within some time of daily meditation, she was able to lose 30 lbs. I have 80 lbs I would like to lose.
So I would meditate in the morning and follow up with a meditation in the evening and hopefully experience what she mentions and desire to meditate at night. She used an interesting analogy of it being like learning how to ride a bike.
I’ve lost weight before by not thinking too much and just cutting out sugar and cooking my meals and drinking smoothies. My monk friend says to walk every day and the weight will come off.
This is a dream goal I have and I would like to be accountable for progressing every day by making the best choices for me.
My boyfriend leaves for work early in the morning so I figured I will also leave early to get to the regional park and put in my daily walks that way because the gate is hard to open.
I also would like to experience the act of drinking more water because I don’t drink enough.

I also listen to the clutter fairy on youtube and I have a lot of things in my bedroom and garage that need to be sorted and disposed of. I would like to accomplish that this month. The best way to think of doing it is to do a box a day and put a time limit on it. That was the clutter fairy’s latest youtube video was about figuring out how much time it will actually take to do it.
🙂 Thank you for this forum.

ParticipantIf I am being honest I feel overwhelmed. I am 22 and I feel like time is passing by and I haven’t achieved anything. I have several dreams. I want to become an actor, I want to model, I want to go abroad and do my masters. I just feel scared. I am overweight to actually become an actor or model but I want to get fit to do that. I just feel like I am holding myself back because of my fears and insecurities. I dont know how to start or if I should just let it stay a dream and not try. I want to try to go after them but it just looks too farfetched.

ParticipantDear faaiza:
I know how it feels to be scared, too scared to take any action, watching time passing you by. I too had dreams of acting. I used to fantasize (when I was a teenager) about being an internationally famous movie star, or a dancer, performing for audiences of millions all over the world. Fast forward, at 18, I applied to a famous acting school and was rejected. I attended some acting classes elsewhere, and in my 20s, I applied to one (only one) voice acting job that was published in a newspaper.. and didn’t get the job. Not an impressive acting career, is it?
Back to my fantasies, those daydreams, they were very enjoyable. It was oh, so pleasurable to see (in my mind’s eye) many thousands of people clapping their hands and cheering for me. In real-life, I was the loneliest teenager in the world, no one cheered for me, no one even knew what I was thinking or feeling. No one asked.
Do you relate to this experience?
