Not really a direct answer but a great perspective

Achieving you childhood dreams.

Great idea... but as for me... I'm a professional idiot... I can't give up my job... I have cats and a wife that depend on me.

I am - at least - a happy idiot. I accepted my position in the sphere of life some time ago & I am content.

I've often thought that it would be grand to be an idiot. I assume that idiots are really happy because they just don't know any better.

- Orbit the earth in a spacecraft.
- Know my kids/grandkids are truly happy and able to fend for themselves.
- Know I'm leaving the world better than I found it and it's better off for my being here.
- Get to a point where I don't have to spend every waking moment worrying about money. I guess, "getting to a point where I can live reasonably simply and reasonably comfortably" goes hand-in-hand with that one.
- Know I've found - and preserved - true love.
- Take my perfectly restored 911 on an epic cross-country trip for several weeks, then toss the keys to a deserving relative as a surprise.
- See my parents enjoy their retirement.
- Live on a sailboat someplace warm for a while.
- Build a successful business for myself (working on this one now... I'd like to get to a point where I can get it self-sustaining and cut the cord and work for myself, create some jobs/opportunities for others, create wealth and be a real contributor rather than just working for someone else...)

Response: Assumption that you had dreams as a child. What do you do if you did not have any dreams? You just merely existed. Still thinking...

I did. I also did it Tuesday. Plan to do it on Saturday too. I am doing the Galloway program running/walking. So far so good. Plan to do double the length on Saturday.

Not hiked, but biked and driven the roads. Nice having Mulholland Highway, Latigo Canyon, Stunt Road, Piuma, etc. right in one's figurative backyard.

Win the lottery BIG TIME and make sure my family never has to worry about money ever again.
Buy cars and fix them up the way I want to, then resell them. I get great satisfaction doing car projects like that. Thats the way I did my Carrera a few years back.

I will say this... it is one advantage of having ADHDLMNOP, self diagnosed... You do get to experience a ton of different highs because one gets bored with things. I've run a 911 on a race track, (and crashed), learn to sail, built wooden ship models, taken long motorcycle trips where it is just you and your machine, owned & fired beautiful firearms, had awesome kinky sex, (that NEVER gets old ), lived in 6 different states and learned those cultures, built stone walls, learned landscaping, trained for & run a half marathon, owned awesome dogs.
When I am sitting in a wheelchair at an old folks home I will have my memories of things I did and can say to myself I've experienced life.

Not your favorite fan Grasshopper but yeah a good thread.
