Have you achieved your dreams and/or goals in life? If you have, what are you looking forward to? If you haven't, are your dreams still achievable?

When I was 8 I decided I'd never marry and told my parents and extended family and here I am at 26 with my dream full filled.

Other dreams is having a job I like. Now I just hope I get hired full time once I'm done with school.

I achieved the next step in my goal, but not the overall goal yet.

So I just have to keep working.

My attainable, "real life" goals? Yes
Live on the west coast, own a house in a nice area, wife, kids, good career without being a workaholic. All things I set out to do.

My swing for the fences, pie in the sky dream? No

Hell no. If my dreams were achievable, they wouldn't be worth having. Any club that would have me as a member, yada yada.

Maybe one day.

You can't achieve something if you never had a goal to begin with.

My dreams all essentially involve never ceasing to learn and grow as a person, and being involved in relationships where I add to their lives and they to mine. So in a sense, I've achieved that, but I also don't plan on ever stopping.

I'm happy with my life, but there's plenty more work to do, and plenty more love to put out in the world before I'm through with it all.

No. I want to draw for a living as well as publish my own work.

I'm on a flight home from a convention in which I got to have my work critiqued by some of the best draw-ers in the world so I am pretty fired up to hit the grindstone.

one of my dreams when I was young was to travel to New York and Japan. I went to New York in my 20s, so I guess, in part?

I'm going to university in Canada, and if all goes well, I might be able to obtain citizenship and bring my family over...

It's a dream I have achieved more thanks to money than my own efforts, but regardless of that, it is a lovely feeling.

No to my dreams, still paying the debt to this day, but my goal of making enough money so I can survive comfortably is still going strong.

After being obsessed with Shenmue when I was younger, I managed to get a job driving a forklift for a short time. I've also earned a living as a games tester.

Kid me would be so proud.

Wanted to be a famous musician. I'm too old now, but I realized I can still do the creative work on my own for my own gratification.

Nope, but I'm not sure if my "dreams" are actual dreams, and not just stuff I think I want.. like being rich and shit

No :(

First let me say I'm in no way unhappy with my life

But I had other plans...

When I was 21 my dad died and I had to leave my dreams behind and start to work to support my mother and younger sister...nothing went according to my plans but that's life :(

You chose that. And you're a better person for it. I am sure you made your father proud.
