It’s time to set some new life goals

[Symarip85]

In the last two years I’ve managed to reach all the long term goals I had set for myself a few years ago. I bought a house, got married, started a family, got into shape, and this week I landed my dream job, $100k+ and no tools. I will officially be joining the ranks of tradesmen who took off their tools and picked up a clipboard. I’ve wanted this ever since I became an electrician almost 20 years ago. Only downside is I’m working in Brooklyn but I can live with that.
So as of this week I need to set some new goals. I never really looked bayond this point because I didn’t actually think I would hit all my marks. The only goal I can think of right now is hitting the gym every morning Mon-Fri now that I have a normal human start time and only one place to be. That and raise my daughter the best I possibly can but I have a sneaking suspicion that ones never going to be finished. Anyway, just needed to share the good news and it was looking slow on UGM today.

[Jonny]

Good shit! I my self need to set more goals. Can’t expect to get better with out goals!

Congrats. I think the only person who can set your goals are you, or else you won’t have to drive to reach them Bc it’s not what you want but what someone else wants. Enjoy the milestone.

Fuck yeah and those sound like great goals to me especially the second one

 

[Dmomuchole]

That’s amazing brother l, I’m doing the same thing. What are your first thoughts for your new goals

 

[Dmomuchole]

I’m at the same cross roads of course with new challenges. I’m going to focus on
my mental and actually dealing with my life trauma so it doesn’t pass on to my kids. And that will probably be my most challenging feat and I’ve done intensive labor in the tunnels and long hours that would break most people.

Congrats! Setting goals is important. Maybe a goal for a investment property is next for a financial goal? Having a fitness goal is good too. Weight target, competition, something like that

Gotta keep the mouth shut infront of kids when it comes to
Divorce stuff. My kids have scars cause both me and my ex talked a lot of shit about each other. Problem is they are half of both of us and what we say about the other they take personally. My girl has actually asked my to stop talking to her about her mom. She told me she isn’t on anybody’s side but her own. Wise girl for 15. I regret being bitter to her infront of them.

 

[Dmomuchole]

Yeah we love each other and we are be very civil around the kids. I learned in one of my parenting classes the doing thelat makes the child feel bad bcz they are half of the other parent and they think that they are bad or those things said apply to them. I really appreciate you sharing that @Rusty it’s pretty Kool we can take responsibility for our actions today and you have the courage to share that with our community so others don make the same mistakes. I appreciate you brother you are like my virtual family. I got a lot of love for you guys. You guys have helped me more then you know the last couple of years.

@Poppy and other mods and @TG is there a way we can have a family/ life changes l, support, topic or something along those lines. Any ideas guys. I notice a lot of our regular members share about These things but there isn’t a designated topic so it in anything goes or a random thread and I strongly believe we could all benefit from it. This place is more then about using gear and using it safely ECT and we know mental health is also a big safety concern for all of use and life happens to all of us lol just a thought.

Congratulations! Sounds like a few people around here are making big life changes with career

 

[Symarip85]

All good bro. I don’t know what my next goals are gonna be. I wanted to start riding again and my wife pumped the breaks on that quickfast. Probably for the best. I’m just pondering and definitely looking for pointers.
@PNWmuscle an investment property isn’t a bad idea but I’m in NY so I’m definitely not going to able to come up with the money for that. Cheap property around my way is north of $400k. But I like the way you’re thinking.

 

[Rusty]

That’s why it put all my shit out there. Why not let someone else make the same mistakes. You can Learn a lot of what not to do from me lol
