What a wonderful idea

[Asa]

Yes, this is a brilliant idea! I am a new member, joined around 20 minutes ago after finding the site just by browsing whatever. I will plan to add to my list more detailed goals but just now I thought that my major goals would have to do with me actually dearing to be myself, doing rather than dreaming, not letting others to determine my future, my goals. Usually we tend to let others mold us, don't we? ;environment, upbringing, inherited features etc they all seem to form what we are and what we can achive in life, and what not...But I decided it must not necessarily be the case...Or am I just being unrealistic?

1st of all, welcome to TBL, I hope this site gives you the opportunity to do what YOU want out of life, like it has for me!
Secondly, I totally agree with you, and like I said, writing this list has helped me discover some of the things that I want to do because I want to do it and not because the people around me are pressuring me to do so.
I just switched my uni course, 'cos I didn't like it (Here in the UK, that's a big deal), I realised I was doing what I felt like my parent's had seriously pushed me into doin, now that I've switched...I FEEL FREE.
Anyway's...
Sorry for the Rant, I don't think you're being unrealistic at all!

Welcome to TBL.

I also do not think that you are being unrealistic. I can't say that I would let others mold me into whatever they wanted me to be but I surely would consider their ideas for a long time. I have realized that I have to live life for myself and not care what others think of me...=)
