When people realize what they want in life, we think of one thing. This is to be successful. However, to really be successful in life is to really act how God acts towards every single person in which He Himself has created. To endure to the very end, the very end can come quickly. At times it comes in a million life times.

In this, we all must realize that it is He who is our author, and finisher of every single thing in our very lives. It all starts with our faith. To give your whole heart, is to be that one after His very heart. How to do this? Well, it is to be who God made you to be right? To love as He loves, to cherish how He cherishes. To lend that hand even when you know you can not.

That is His example when He came to Earth. He helped, He loved, He cherished everything about us even when His own creation turned against Him. He still loved us to no end, to no end to where His love grows more, and more with our very breath.

Does He hurt like we do? Yes. We are made in His very image after all. He feels, He loves, He even hurts for us because His very heart breaks by how we destroy ourselves. How do we destroy ourselves you may ask? It is by how we treat each other. We tear them down because of indifference. Words can kill anyone, even their very love. It is how you treat someone, is how you will be treated. So treat with kindness, let the bitterness go. Because in the end? Who cares what we look like, or what we have. For we all have Salvation and that is worth all the money in the world. For the only thing that we can take with us when we die is? SALVATION. Salvation + being saved = The Love of God. Jesus, who is God’s only Begotten Son has left us with a piece of advice. The key to every situation that can be made better.

“To love each other.” To love each other is to love each other as He loves. To be all that we were created to be, His very elect. It never matters, as I have said many times before, about how to world sees you. Who cares what your neighbor says about you, unless it is to say, “I Love You.”
Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them.” Ephesians 4:2: “Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.” 1 Peter 4:8: “Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.” John 15:12: “My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.”

Literally all I want is when my life is done to hear God say “Well done My good and faithful servant.”

To answer the thread title instead of the thread OP: All I really want in life is peace and comfort. Adventure and excitement have never really appealed to me. Maybe I was old when I was young.

At 43, I’m leaning towards having a peaceful life. My entire life has been a roller coaster ride up until now, and I have decided that when I’m get back to good ole Lone Star from this deployment, I’m gonna get me a rocking chair and start acting like a grandma ought to😁.

I think God wanted me to be a success of some sort but He was worried it would go to my head. And He was right.
I'm more suited to borderline poverty than fame and fortune.
All I want now is for my partner and dog to live as long as possible. Career ambition is for young folk anyway.

If I was more...shall we say specific than my response before I think I would say i want to be comfortable financially, I want a family who loves me, I want a relationship with Christ that is best friend and father, I want a husband who loves the Lord and me, I want to find fulfillment in what God is leading me to in terms of career...

I was asked this question by a pyshciatrist once and had no idea how to answer.
I think they test you or something to see if you crazy or not.
