I want to have goals in my life, but i don’t know where to start or what to do? Does anyone have personal experiences they can share with me?

Some of my goals are fairly personal for this thread but I will share some. Most of them are fairly simple, eat regularly, sleep regularly, exercise, and quit smoking. Others are more for my specific issues, quit drink and no pornography. All of my goals kinda point me in the direction of what kind of man do I want to be.

The dream may not bear significance to anyone else, but as soon as I woke up I knew it meant everything to me.

I was in the passenger seat of a car and I could not see the driver. Looking out the window I saw a pink balloon floating in the air and I immediately wanted to chase. Don’t ask why or how but I knew when I woke up that the pink balloon represented my sexual addiction which I have struggled with a great deal for years. The driver stopped and I jumped out to chase the balloon, but as soon I got out of the car I saw monsters in bushes by the road. The feeling of unease I got carried through to when I woke up. I knew I was in danger so I turned to get back in the car. The doors were locked and when I looked up to see the driver I saw me! He(I) smiled and started driving away leaving me there with the monsters.

That’s when I woke I up and I saw my true enemy was me and my depression. I knew that my depression was going to do whatever it could to kill me and no one was going to save me but me. Now the first thing I wrote on that paper sounds very dramatic now, but that night it meant everything. Don’t kill yourself today! The best part about this goal is that have been 100% successful.

I don’t know you so I don’t know if your goals will be as serious as some of mine, but just think about who you want to be and start making strides to reach that.
