What Do You Ultimately Want?

This question can have a simple answer or a complex one, But it is a question we should all ask ourselves.

What I ultimately want is to cure my Social Anxiety, to be able to not be afraid of strangers, then eventually make friends who I don't have to fear.
My ultimate goal can be generalized into "Finding love", But for somebody who frantically panics upon seeing friendly, innocent strangers... It's a little different.



What do you ultimately want?

I think Dreams and Aspirations would be a more apt place for this thread, but I might be wrong.

OT: I just want to be happy.

Get married and settle down, have money and time for some xbox live, reach my guitar skill level goal, and just keep on learning. Health wise, find out why the hell all of my joints can pop. I know that just having hyper-mobility isn't the reason. I know that it will damage me in the long run.

It's funny really, I've noticed that whenever I'm asked specifically what I want, I don't really have any answers. They just flee my mind while I try to think about them. I may come back for an edit.

Work as an electrical engineer in the field of aviation with regard to military contracts.

Money plus more time to finish my photo book and a quick death before my legs and eyes die.

Magical powers. Although no crappy stuff like mind reading that's always active, or the like. I'd also like plenty of money and the ability to live without eating or drinking. If I had to choose one, then without eating.

I'm such a sloth~~

It seems like I was the only one who took this question seriously, I suppose that is fine.
I would have prefered for people to take this question with a serious manner.

Just sayin'.

What I'd like to have would be a life of joy and pleasure with absoulutly no worries or responsibilitis it might sound a little childish but to have a life like that has always been my dream even if its a short life if i can have that i would die happy.

-To find a way to utilize my over-thinking, Type-A over-preparing, over-doing-everything tendencies to their highest, most productive potential without any unnecessary spillover whatsoever.

-To overcome my fear of singing in front of people. I really really really really really love to sing and it makes me so ridiculously exhilirating-ly happy and to never do it is excruciating.

-To be able to be a well-adjusted, optimally-functioning, productive, and generally happy adult.

-A family. Husband, kids. My aunt has a huge family and I think I want one too. I love hearing rooms full of laughter, picture frames full of love. I love people. I love sharing, I love giving.. I love loving. It's a part of me and that white-picket-fence life is just... a natural ending for me.

-To achieve the academic excellence I fantasized about as a kid. I love to learn, and college/big fancy degrees were always something I really wanted to have.. for myself. To say I did it. Because I wanted to. So I made it happen.

-Financial Independence/Stability/Comfort. For myself and for the future kids I hope to have some day... I don't care about riches or luxury.. but I want to be able to look them in the eyes and say I paid for their roof, their clothes, their well-being with money I earned the honest and proper way.

Just because you don't agree with our choices doesn't mean we didn't take it seriously.

When you ask something that is as subjective as what YOU ultimately want you can't pick and choose other people's wishes.

There's nothing to discuss about a question that is entirely based on personal opinion that only affects themselves and is unique to each person.

I'm serious has a yahoo.

Honestly, I want to travel to another dimension. I believe that if it were possible, a lot of people would feel the same, or maybe I got it backwards. There's a sense of mystery behind dimensional travel. What would you run into? How would the "door" to another dimension work? Where exactly would you go? It could end up being Hell or a death trap. It could also be Paradise that you don't want to leave. Anything could happen, just like regular travelling. It would also help extend our understanding of the universe and beyond.

As with the other two, I also posted a serious answer. You didn't say for it to be anything realistic, so I answered truthfully.

I ultimately want to be happy.

I don't care if that means settling down with a nice lady to make a nuclear family, or becoming a male stripper.

As long as I ultimately am sincerely happy, I don't really care where I end up.

Ideally it would be me being fairly wealthy (i.e. being able to buy my kid a PS3 whenever he wants, just needs to ask) with an attractive and intelligent (and faithful) wife, at least two awesome kids, and friends who have my back whenever I need some help. That might be asking for a bit much though so I just want happiness.

Ultimately, Peace and quiet and able to take my life at such speed as i want. Money would be nice as well, BUT not Completely neccesary.

Would want World Peace, BUT it cannot be attained UNTIL were unified under the same banner, language and religion.

Money and magical powers.

To die old peacefully with no regrets.

An end to the chaos of my life. Not an end to my life, I rather like the thing, but an end to the infinitely bizarre scenarios, poverty, disappointment and failure. Things have always been about 30° off for me and like like that amended.

At the end of my life/ in the afterlife, the only thing I want is Understanding.
Edit: Oh and the power of god.

I want the power to control time.
