What do you dream of achieving?

Does it give you hope?

I'm self-employed. I'm dreaming of having enough income and revenue to just focus on business strategy (without having to actually create, extend and maintain the Internet service I provide), scientific research (using the service) and of being a succesful composer.

I've never lost hope completely. I don't expect and don't care about the expectations of others (or I try to) and I try to prevent others from expecting anything (it's a personality trait, a problem and a partial solution), I just hope. That way I never lose it.

It's not a good sign, but it is a good thing.

I have reached my dreams. The only thing I'd like now is to be able to move out and live independently with my son. Finances are holding me back right now. Medical debt and bad credit. Trying to fix those things.

I have no dreams or goals. Dreams are just something you think about, while goals take action.

I am content and happy with what i have and do in life, so having dreams or goals aren't necessary for me.

I would call it goals.
When I was younger I think they were dreams.
Too low on depression scale right now for accomplishments.

My dream is to be able to live comfortably, and to have enough money to spend on what I want.

My dream job was to find one where I can write and I might have landed in the right direction by working with this local magazine.

So one accomplished!

Next would be to marry my best friend and live happily ever after

I have many dreams and goals that keep me forward focused and motivated. Kinda of falls apart in an episode but then I pick myself up and move on. I want to be a writer, articles and websites whatever people need help with, editing too. I hope to be able to live off this work and maybe write some children's books then an adult novel or two once I'm established as a writer. My goal is to be self-sufficient as I currently depend on disability to survive. I also want to find a good man and spend the rest of my life with him but I'm nowhere near ready for that. Studying writing at uni so on the path.

I mainly dream of finding some inner peace, publish more books in a different editorial, travel and someday find someone to lead a positive and nourishing relationship with.

I dream of publishing poetry or photographs. I like doing those two things. However, my brain has taken a hit and I don't know if I'm good enough at those things.

I hate to be a Debbie downer all over here but to be quite honest, I stopped having high hopes since losing two jobs back to back. The most recent one being less than a year ago. And I absolutely loved this job. Getting fired literally traumatized me to the point I'm terrified to go back to work ever again. Having that kind of negative mind set has made me throw my hands up with everything else to. I'm so scared to have any goals whatsoever because I'm afraid I'll royally screw it up again. And I'll probably be a party pooper till I get approved for my current SSI case and can stop being in debt.
