How many have long term goals? I was chatting with a friend (61) recently and asked where he wanted to be in five years. He said he has no goals and blamed it on a failed marriage. This is a mindset I totally don't understand. How do you know where you are going if you haven't set a destination. For example, my goal is to be in the best shape of my life maintained by hiking and biking with friends. To be with someone who makes me laugh and I am compatible with physically, and to travel, continue learning and making new friends. How about you? Taking it a day at a time or do you have set goals you are working toward? This is especially directed at the over 60 crowd? Does retirement mean no goals are needed?

I always have had long term goals. And I still do even though I am 68. It is because of them that I am where I am today. Being able to live and enjoy life because of the work I have done to reach my goals. Having something to look forward to rather than just sit and wait for something to happen. You make it happen.

My long term goals are to get fit, write a novel, pursue a masters in Biology, start a family, and travel the country and world.
