View Full Version : Short Term Goals & Long Term Goals

07-23-2014, 08:23 PM
I've been lucky enough to reach a few goals that I've set for myself in the past, but I have also failed quite a few times. I think it's time for me to set some new goals and do my best to stick to them. I have some financial goals, but I can't reach them if I continue abusing drugs and alcohol.....as well as wasting money on strippers, escorts, and Asian massage parlors. So I need to work on eliminating some of my guilty pleasures. This is going to be extremely hard for me, but I know I can do it.

My first goal is to make sure I post in this thread every single day to keep track of my progress.

If you have any goals you would like to post in this thread and keep track of please feel free to do so. I think it could be very helpful.

I'm going to make it a goal to eventually stop posting on forums like insidehoops, because everyone here is a beta with issues.

it's the lowest form of my personality, but it's really amusing here.

I'm in the same boat but it's not something I am going to force.

I have a lot of free time right now and ISH is the best forum I've ever been a part of because of how they allow people to be the most intense, wacked out, crazy versions of themselves.

A lot of characters on here and the moderators for the most part let a lot of shit go when they realize it will provide lulz and they typically aren't out to get anyone

Plus college semesters are done during this time and part-time jobs are the only ones available.

Sounds like one of your short term goals should be to create a long term goal.

Ok, so I made it through the night without any slip ups. I looked through some ads online today, but I didn't pull the trigger. So far so good

I need to stay away from those sites though. One day at a time

Short term - get a work placement and be successful/valuable enough for them to offer me the job when I graduate

Long term - to have my own house by the time I'm 25. Not a flat or apartment, an actual house. I'm 19 and a half now.

The only things I really push for are financial/study goals and fitness goals.

Fitness has been a big part in helping me with my discipline for everything else. I think a lot of people would benefit greatly from taking fitness more seriously and having principles from there that crossover to real world problems guide them and teach them how to handle things better.

This is very good advice man, thanks

I want to eliminate fast food from my diet, but I have a hard time sticking to it for obvious reasons.

think why before you do something next time.

you have to be confident in your ability to stop.
any past experience of walking away from something helps.

That's easier said than done. For the most part I do think before I do stuff, but most of the time the evil part of me is doing all the thinking. The evil outweighs the good in me in those areas.....I have to figure out some kind of way to reverse that.

try thinking about how you want tomorrow to be different than today before you go to bed. since you can now recognize the "evil part" of you doing all the thinking.

if you know what your routine is tomorrow, visualize it, substitute your time with something else where you want to see yourself with change.

Since I started this thread I haven't spent any money on escorts, strippers, or Asian Massage Parlors. Which is great news because that's my primary goal right now. I even got on board with that no fapping for 30 days situation Russwest started. I still been smoking weed everyday and drinking occasionally, but I'll start working on that pretty soon.

Financial: -Save enough cash for a solid apartment, a gun license, and a solid supply of nutrient dense food for fam.
- Seize every opportunity possible to give value to people whether it be make them laugh or share a tidbit of knowledge I came across or make them feel listened to or spotting them in cash.. whatever. Have had a cold black heart for most of my late teens early 20s time to fix that sh!t up.

Physical: Finish the Challenge set forth and stretch in the morning.

Lovelife: Avoid psycho narcissistic insane delusional Bipolar whore. Avoid marriage. Actively search out kind hearted sweet lovable healthy woman. If that means waiting or moving to Aussie or Indo then so be it.

Skill: Continue to sharpen writing.

Religious/Spiritual: Be more humble, and objectively destroy any flaws of my character which can be fixable. Right now it's sloth, lust, and greed. Avarice can be tempered through charity. Sloth by waking up at dawn and being grateful. Lust by channeling horniness into creative outputs for humanity. Next will be being more sound intellectually... getting to the point quickly.

Feel free to copy the goals fellas.

Yeah, this is true, but I got in on that 30 day no fapping challenge. Last night I came to the conclusion that it was a bad idea right now. It's hard enough not giving in to my urges, not being able to fap makes it 10 times harder.

So I fapped last night and said fvck that no fapping shit. :coleman:

I actually promised myself this would be the last year I spend on a forum

the amount of time I've spent reading and posting here I could have put into educating myself and starting my own business

although I've had some great laughs on here, I'm starting to question the point of following the nba so closely. I mean when you think about it, we sit here and admire young athletes and talk for hours about there potential instead of concentrating on bettering ourselves and maxing out our own potential in our personal fields of profession or whatever we are concentrating on

actually i promised myself that i would only fap 3 times today, but its already been 5 faps so far and it's not even 7 yet. i don't think i'll be in bed by at least 1 am. so 2-3 more faps are on tap. if you can suggest something for me to do with my time, your help would be greatly appreciated. plz halp.

Looking to make the most of my time. And I got to thinking, where do I waste time in my life. And it just hit me like a ton of bricks, when I take a shit. All I'm doing is just sitting there, smelling the fumes of my disgust and wasting my time away. How can I make shitting more productive? I pondered and I pondered and then it finally hit me. Being the inventive artistic type that I am, I figured I'd make my pooping experience a bit more colorful. So now sometimes when I poop, I use the shaping attachment from my old Play Doh fun set. I place it on my anus, and make poops in different shapes. There's nothing strange about that at all. I'm an American, living in America, and if I want to have poops shaped like stars, I have every right to. The founding fathers would have wanted it that way.

It had something to do with sex, drugs, and alcohol.....but I declined. That particular environment wouldn't have been good for my sobriety. I'm so proud of myself for NOT putting myself in a situation that could lead to me doing the things that I'm trying to stay away from.

Yeah, I use to drink & drive all the time and it's something I wish I would not have done all those years. I never got in any accidents or hurt anyone, but the fact that I could have makes me cringe. Too many innocent people have died due to people drinking and getting behind the wheel.

so i just got this new dildo and i've been having a lot of fun shoving that thing up my ass. I've affectionately named him Pablo.

now normally i ain't no twink. and neither am i a bear, i just don't fit that stereotype. but if you had to pigeonhole me into a category, i guess i could pass for a twank. now i know i'm definitely a top, and whenever i agree to become a bottom, i am definitely a power bottom. i like generating all the power. and its all in my hips. but this new dildo that i got dude, it just makes me do things i would normally never do.

i mean its a lot more than just a rubber dick, it has steel balls on it that heat up and it viberates, and overall, just feels so damn wonderful up my ass. now i ain't no twink that buries his head in a pillow and takes it up his ass all night, but ever since i got Pablo, i've been doing that 5 times a day while Pablo makes my ass butter. this is my new guilty pleasure and while i'm no bear, i'm still not proud of doing this to myself.

so my short term goal is to get over my new found addiction to Pablo.

now my long term goal is to become a millionaire. I want to have a lot of money so i can live in a mansion and drive fancy cars and wear fancy suits so that i can still attract dem young 20 somethings even when i'm over 50. dem twinks, love a successful male.

so anyways, back to my point, i've always searched for an idea to become rich but so far it has eluded me. and now Pablo has provided me with that idea.

Pablo is the latest most advanced technology in dildos available in the market today and is selling like hot fire. i imagine who ever invented Pablo is a billionaire by now. But I realized that Pablo, while being very very satisfactory, is still one step short of being the ultimate on the market.

Now despite being plowed by a big bumpy heated vibrating dick, and getting 15 **** orgasms in a row, pha ggots are still going to get tired of it eventually and gonna start bitching and moaning for more with their other limp wristed friends. Its just the nature of a pha ggot, just like black guys go on welfare, or white people talk all proper, etc.

Pablo is state of the art right now, but it won't be in another 2 months. Pha ggots are going to want more. And I know just what to give them. Shock! Electricity baby.

Its a little known fact that all pha ggots are some kinky bastards and enjoy a bit of pain. and nothing else delivers the right amount of pain than a well managed electrical shock. now imagine that electrical shock is going straight into your anus. WOW! is your mind blown yet?

I plan on finding a company that is going to manufacture electrified Pablos by the millions and sell them all over the world and that's how I'm going to make billions.

i don't like long term goals. I set up short term goals for the next 1-2 years.

so my goals for the next 1-2 years are:

-settle down and finally have a meaningful relationship

-take my career to the next level, which would lead to buying a house a few years afterwards

-hitting 655 pound deadlift for 2

-squatting 500 pound for 2

-lean bulk to 250 pounds

every one of those i have already started and have been doing for a few months now. Hoping for the best. :rockon:

What do you do for a living? How much do you weigh and what do you deadlift and squat for 2 reps now?

i'm a software developer/engineer, been working for close to 2 years now, by january.

i currently weigh around 220-225. I want to be 250 in 1-2 years without gaining much more fat.

right now i deadlift 545x2. and squat 345 x2, i'm a bad squatter so really working on that.
