100 Life Goals ideas for creating your dream life

This life is the greatest reservoir. It is full of abundance, prosperity, happiness, and success and has everything you dream of inside of it. 

What you are able to take out from this infinite reservoir is all in your hands.

To get it, you must be willing to dig deep into it. But if we live our life only scratching the surface, we won’t be able to live out what we’re here for. 

If you ask less from life, you will get less. 

You have to demand big things from life and let life know you’re worthy of it. You have to let life see you’re also doing the work and being who you’re supposed to be. And then life will give you whatever you want. 

Because we’re alive, anything is possible no matter what your situation is right now. 

You can go from rags to riches. You can go from zero to hero. You can have, do and be anything you want if you want to. But first, you need to have goals and have the right life goals. 

If you go about your life without any goals, you will be swayed away in all directions and you will end up accepting very less than what you deserve in life. 

And that’s not what you’re here for. You’re here to be the highest version of yourself.

You are here to enjoy a fully lived life which you can say as you look back, “Oh! It was a wonderful ride living on this earth as a human being!”

So let’s start with what are life goals 

What are life goals?

Life goals are anything that you want to have, do and be in your life. They can be big life goals which you want to achieve or do at least once in your lifetime or small, specific life goals, but what matters is that you set them from your heart. They are what will help you define and shape your life.

Why set life goals?

Most of us don’t know what we want from life. We go each day letting life direct us rather than us directing our life. And the result? We end up being dissatisfied and angry at life. 

But it’s not life’s fault when you aren’t clear in giving your instructions in the first place. 

If you want life to treat you right, then first you need to communicate with it properly, and the best way to communicate is through your own heart and set your life goals, and write them down. 

You need not keep a bunch of life goals, but you must let them become the centre of your life and strive your best to achieve them. 

I believe these are the reasons why it is important to set life goals 

• To clearly know what you want in life 
• To shape the direction of your life 
• To become the master of your own life 
• To gain the motivation and never lose sight of what you deserve 
• To give clear instructions to life as to what you want from it. 
• To make it easy to plan how to create your dream life.

How to set life goals 

1. First, Dig deep into your heart. Take out time to really think and visualize what kind of life you want. Is the kind of life you’re living the one you’re proud of or happy to live? 

Then write down the kind of life you want to live- and that includes what you want to have, do and what kind of person you want to be in this lifetime. 

Remember that you’re already her, or him. You only need to dig deep into yourself and your truest self will shine.  

2. Secondly, don’t set vague life goals, like, ‘I want to be happy’, or I want to be successful. 

Define what you really mean by happiness or success. Be specific about your life goals. 

Also, there is something very wrong in keeping your goal as happiness, because the more you only want to be happy, the more you make it a cause for unhappiness. 

3. And thirdly, write down your top 10 life goals and also set a deadline for it. If your life goals are very big life goals, then set mini goals for that life goal.

For example, if your life goal is to save and buy your home in the next 5 years, then set a mini goal of how much you want to earn and save every month. 

You can also write down the life goals you want to achieve by the next 5 years and 10 years and lastly, set another called goals for life which will be based on your core values and the person you want to be and what you want to be practising for life. 

So these were some of my tips on how to set life goals. 

What is one life goal you can’t seem to get away from? Something that calls you from deep within your heart? I would love to know in the comment below.

For me, it is to become a published writer and to become a true Buddhist someday.
