What is your goal in life?

[Fuzzbass]

That was in an interview with Gene in Bass Player, wasn't it? I recall all sorts of eye-popping comments from him in that.

It was a long time ago, but BP sounds right. Gene says a lot of outrageous stuff Because Marketing (i.e. there's no such thing as bad publicity) but he probably does believe some of it.

Die with a lot of $$$ and in a strange woman's bed. Please include these tidbits in my obit.

My teenage ambitions were to be a Therapist and play bass in a band. 50+ years later and...by gosh & golly...that's exactly what I'm doing.

my biggest goals in life right now are financial stability, and getting a boyfriend. im sure there are others but that's what immediately comes to mind im not a very ambitious person

I'm in my early 60's and recently retired. So most of the big goals in life are behind me now: I had a good career, I'm not filthy rich but am financially secure, been married for 40 years (my wife is also my musical partner), raised a kid who is now an amazing adult and I'm about to become a grandfather, wrote a book that was published, got to travel a bit (would like to do more). I generally live in an attitude of gratitude.

At this point, for whatever time I have left, my primary goal is to make music. For me, that means continuing to write songs, get more proficient at recording, and continue to improve my musicianship. My other big goal is to buy a second home in Canada (where I was born) so I can spend Fall and Winter down here in Texas and spend Spring and Summer up in the Great White North. Don't know if I'll be able to swing that, but I'm working on it.

I'm retired. I have a book to finish, I teach online a couple of terms a year, travel a bit, drive a 280ZX turbo and a BMW 3-series, and I enjoy reading and spending time with my family. My goal: keep on doing what I'm doing.

I don't think I ever had a goal. Still, things turned out ok.

that's me. I took advantage of the best options as I went, and it got me a 40-year career in audio and video production and tech in higher education, a fantastic wife and two outstanding kids, a secure retirement and a great place to live. Not bad for making the best choices I could as I went along.

We don't need no stinkin' good choices.

To remember to count my blessings every single day. So far, life has been pretty good to me.

My life mantra....and daily mantra, if I remember.....keep counting, every day

@slobake Great thread...enjoying the read.
Thank you

To die with as much peace as I could attain in this lifetime, knowing that I've given my all and helped make this a better planet - at least to the best of my ability. Yeah, I know. It sounds gaggingly altruistic, but its honest.

Would love to play with 3 Dog Night, too .

 

[ryco]

the only goal I have left in life is to play "on the fly" without any charts.
It has been a goal for 50+ years. Still working on it a couple hours a day!
Listen for the roots.

other than that I'm golden!

To reach that state of clarity, that moment of enlightenment, where it is finally revealed as to what the actual F is.

...where it is finally revealed as to what the actual F is.

Wouldn't it be funny/terrible if it were nothing but this?
