@Earl No no, Earl this is not a school to teach you your goals. It’s just a place for sharing of some of my personal learnings about goal setting as a whole.

I’m so sorry to hear about your case. I know it can be tough fighting against the authorities but my spirit is behind you. Esp knowing that you’re aspiring to study law online. Go for it! And please keep me informed, as I know your success will definitely be an inspiration for those wanting to do the same.

never knew how to start living your goals college existed. thanks. i am a disabled veteran now fighting with the new york city veterans administration to release my disabled veterans monthly checks. their excuse is that i must get a specific release fron the united states marshalls office, washington, d.c. affidavit or form stating that a warrant for my arrest in 2005 was executed and the warrant is not active. i cannot even get the legal aid office to help me. i had hope to use my v.a. funds to attend law school online and work doing bankruptcy and contract forms processing and filing as a paralegal through law school. now i am doing research to find out what solutions or resource people i can find to get my goals accomplished before i am 65 years old. i am a vietnam veteran so i am almost there and homeless and school bus driver due to age discrimination in most major bus companies in new york city and new jersey. anyway, i will keep you informed.

I have to agree with Peter, what a wonderful eulogy. I liked your response even better, you’re leading it now.

What a wonderful conscious decision to lead your life with a purpose!

We all talk about how we want to be remembered when we die but I can’t help but think that’s lip service. It takes guts to walk the talk…

@Ritu, I’m glad this article was able to help! Making the decision to quit your job is definitely not easy… and I’m sure you’ll consider from all aspects before you do the plunge. And when you do so, drop me a mail or post on your blog and I’ll be one of the first to congratulate you!

@Fiar, thanks for your kind words and the link to an inspiring article. I loved the part about people missing the little time to enjoy the moment of peace or prosperity around them. It’s true. Seemingly simple and wonderful. Yet people forget.

Great post, Ellesse. It's really heartfelt. I've seen this topic covered before many times, but this is a cut above all the rest. Thanks for sharing this. Related to this (somewhat), but not as thorough, you might enjoy my friend RT's post, Promise from God.
