Who do you want to be?

I’ve been thinking a lot lately (a dangerous pastime ;)) and it has occurred to me that we spend a lot of time focussed on things, study, work, family. So much of our lives is focussed on what we want to do and what we want to be. You want to go to university, want to be a fireman, want to study law, be a police officer (well maybe none of you guys ;)), or a stay-at-home mum/dad.

All of these things define what we want to do, a direction for life but who do you want to be? What kind of person do you want to be like? Do you aspire to be fair and kind or powerful and ruthless? Family focussed or egocentric? What are the qualities that describe the person you wish to grow into?
 
My ideal situation would be to be in a family envoriment with a loving wife and bueatiful kids (I have one kid already :)) - the successful career in sales (I have that too:)) - the house in the burbs surrounded by friends. That sounds so sucky but I don't want much to make me happy, anything above that would be a bonus.

I'd like to think of myself of a person who puts his family and friends first and works on enjoying the company of both.

Now the house and wife is proving to be the difficult bit ;):p

ahh I'm more of a traditionalist than I think sometimes.
 
I hope this doesn't make me sound like too much of a wanker but here goes...

"Each experience in your life was absolutely necessary in order to have gotten you to the next place and the next up until this very moment"

"If you are suffering in your life right now, I can guarantee that this condition is tied up with some kind of attachment to how things SHOULD be going"

If you don't love yourself nobody else will not only that you won't be good at loving anyone else.
Loving starts with the self"

"When you are at peace with yourself and love yourself it is virtually impossible to be self-destructive"

Anyway...they are a few quotes that helped get me through some really fucking hard times.

I want to be an open-minded, content, successful person.
I want to be remembered...not for things I have done but because of the person that I am.
I want to make my mum and dad proud because I've let them down so much in the past.
And when I am all if not some of what I hope to be I want to share what I have with others...because I know I won't be content or happy if those around me aren't.
 
I dont want to be dirt rich, but enough money to live a comfortable lifestyle and an odd luxury would make me happy.
In terms of personality, i really want to kill my procrastinating trait.

Those are useful quotes, i also remember something SLM said was along the lines of
'Actually, i believe the scarred ones are the lucky ones. Once you've known such great depths, you'll know unbelievable highs as well'

Something along the lines of that :)
 
i want to be brilliant. i think i always have wanted to be - ever since i was a little kid.

in regards to the kind of person i want to be, i think i already am. i could certainly stand to be a little more patient with people, but i'll continue working on that and hopefully it will improve. apart from that, i'm happy with who i am - i attempt to listen to everybody's point of view, i'm reasonably kind-hearted and generally unselfish, and i've learned to live with my arrogance ('cause that doesn't appear to be going away anytime soon).

i still want to be brilliant though - i've never had anything that i've excelled at so far as to be called brilliant, but it's definitely a goal i'm working towards :)

great thread kitty!
 
Who do I want to be? Interesting question.

I want to be successful in what I do, without destroying my inherent values. I don't want to be ridiculously rich, I want to be comfortable, comfortable enough to do what I want to do without needing a multi-million dollar yacht or any of that kind of stuff.

I want a little more motivation at times, but other than that I feel like I'm well on my way :)

^dont you want to be that butterfly that flaps its wings and causea a landslide on the other side of the world theory? :P
 
i have no idea what i want to be, that's why i stopped going to uni (was doing B Teaching (secondary)/B Arts).
i just want to be happy and content and surrounded by good friends....awww
 
The kind of person i want to be is someone who when i die, people will have vivid memories of me being funny, happy and kind. They will remember how much i loved my family(esp. my kids), how generous i was and even though i am gone, they will hear my favourite words and sayings and my advise will ring in their ears. I want to be known as someone who lived passionately and deeply and did things their own way.

This is how everyone remembers my Dad and i can only hope that i am as blessed to have left these memories for people when i die.
 
Pretty much the type of person that will make others feel like I am genuinely happy to be in their company at all times, even if I may not be in the best of moods or something is on my mind and inside me I feel like I can't offer 100 percent.

Besides that, I want to be the type of person who helps create special memories and moments in the lives of other people.

I want to be a strong, confident, independant , open minded, well aware and successful mother, teacher, friend and person in general.

I kinda pride myself that i'm half way there already.

Quote from a Kasey Chambers song..

"And after all that i have done
I'm not half what i hoped that i'd become
There's still a long way to go"

^^^ thats how i feel about my life :)

note...i don't think it's a bad thing...my flower hasn't completely bloomed yet but the colour is so bright all the same...wait till i full grow ;)
 
Er, I guess I'd like to be someone that people always remember. Someone people think of, and want to turn to, who is considered patient and understanding. Yup, and funny and stuff. :) Or unforgetable. Yeah - that's it.
 
This is going to sound really, really conceited. *you have been warned*

I want to have knowledge.

I want to reach new, as yet uncharted realms of ridiculous educational titles. I never want anybody to be able to put a question to me that I am unable to at least attempt to answer properly. I want to know everything about my chosen field. I fact, ideally, I would like to know everything about every field.

I love learning new things. I love the power that education gives. I love enquiring, preparing questions, doing research and developing ideas of my own. In addition to the love of knowledge, my goals are also partly driven by arrogance. I love to win and I love to be the best.

I don't really care much for money, short of the fact that I would like to have enough of so as to own a house and raise a family in relative comfort. I would like to be less arrogance and more thoughtful, especially about others personal feelings, about which I can be quite brazen and uncaring sometimes.

And most importantly I want to travel. I want to go everywhere and see everything; from 'the city of god' in Rio to the mountains of Bhutan to the unique forests of Madagascar.

And finally, I want to be able to write a short piece about my aspirations and what I want from life without sounding like a total tosser. ;) :)
