80 Awesome Aspirations
Life goals: Things that you hope to accomplish/have/do/be/etc. in your lifetime. We all have them, but of course everyone has different goals that are unique to their interests and character. I often find myself dreaming of all of the things that I want to do in the future, some things more plausible than others, but wondrous ventures to think about nonetheless. Of course, life goals could also be considered a bucket list, but I am not a fan of that terminology.
When I first sat down to write this, I have to admit I really needed to give it some serious thought. I didn't just want to write down the same overused ideas of what would be included in a goal worthy life. We have all had the fantasy of fame and fortune with a perfect husband, but I find those things to be superficial and, well, implausible. I want to form a list of things with more substance and that is perhaps more manageable - though to say that I will achieve all of these things is pushing it a bit, but we can try. So without further ado, here is a list of goals I am setting for myself to accomplish during my lifetime.
1. Speak five languages, fluently.
English, Italian, Spanish, French, Russian
