100 Life Goals to achieve before you die! 

100 Life goals - How much time do have you have invested planning your life?  Most people spend more time planning a birthday party or vacation.   Where do you think you'll end up if you don't plan well?  Why leave your future to chance?  Life is short.  

Plan now what you want to get done before you die!  Life goals!

Do you think you could write a 100 life goals list?

Why not decide to live life abundantly by designing your own personalized list of 100 life goals you will achieve over the next 10, 20, 30 years?  And why not design your life where you look back and say "WOW, I can't believe I did all that!

What would a good life look like to you?    Let me help paint the picture of what a good life could look like.

• Enjoying abundant health, energy and vitality
  
  
• Traveling the world to exotic locations and experiencing different life cultures
  
  
• Spending money where it is not an obstacle to living the life you’ve designed
  
  
• Having a close relationship with your partner
  
  
• Experiencing nurturing relationships with your children
  
  
• Enjoying a fulfilling career as an employee or business owner.
  
  
• Having strong morals and core values that guide your life and decisions
  
  
• Living in your custom designed dream house
  
  
• Owning a cottage or vacation retreat on a lake, ocean or in the woods
  
  
• Driving your dream car
  
  
• Helping others less fortunate than yourself
  
  
• Living to 90 or even 100 years old, doing things that people half your age are still doing
  
  

• And much more . . . 

The good news is that you are designing your life, and no two lives are the same.   Your dream life will be different to everyone else you know.     

We start from different places in our lives.   

Some are fortunate to have been born to families in countries that already have a high level of prosperity.  

For some, these life goals will seem like an impossibility.  For others, you may already be living the dream life that countless others can only strive for.   

The main point of the 100 Goals Club is to inspire you to design your own unique life, instead of just letting life happen.   And while you’re designing your life, why not design a life of WOW?    Create your life of adventure through writing down well thought out life goals!             

100 Life Goals list. The inspiration for the 100 Goals Club site.

Living with no regrets requires you plan your life . . . 

The main concept of this club is to design your life so well that you end up at the end of your life with few regrets for not having lived your life a certain way.  

Too many live in their comfort zone.    If you live in your comfort zone your entire life, there is a high certainty that you will have some major regrets in your life.  

There are many people when questioned during their last years of life about parting with any regrets, who respond with something like: I wish I . . .

• Risked more
• Loved more
• Worked less
• Let go of my grudges

In fact, nurses in hospitals or hospices are the ones that hear the regrets of the dying, expressed as:

• I wish I’d had the courage to live the life I dreamed of, not the one that was expected of me.
• I wish I hadn’t worked so many hours at work, at the expense of my family.
• I wish I had learned to express my feelings.  Supressing feelings leads to poor relationships and regrets of what could have been, had you had the courage to make things right.
• I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.
• I should have saved more money for my retirement.

Of these, the number one regret that people have on their death bed is that they did not pursue their dreams and life goals. 

Don’t be one of these people—start living a life that you design.

When your health and youth have faded, you’ll reflect on what the important things in life are, and you will realize what is truly valuable . . . your friends and family.   That is why the book of 100 life goals has an entire section on friend and family goals.   

There is no point in developing high net worth working hard at your career or business, achieving all your life goals but achieving a failing grade with your family.   The most important people are your friends and family.    Live your life so that they are there for you when you need them the most.  

The purpose of this site is to inspire you to live your own unique, purposeful life.   

Achieving just some of these 100 life goals, or modifications to these 100 goals, is something you can do.  You can go and live the life you design.   

Said another way . . . Live with No Regrets!    

Happy people enjoying friendships, travel, good health and vitality!

The 10 Essential Life Goal Areas for living a balanced life.

In designing your balanced life, one with no regrets, write your life goals in categories.  

You'll find many variations of life goal categories.  This list is one of the most complete.   

1.       Personal Development

2.   Health and Fitness

3.       Family and Friends

4.       Hobbies and Passions

5.       Financial

6.    Career

7.       Adventure

8.   Travel

9.       Lifestyle

10.   Leaving a Legacy

The above Goal areas are listed in a rank order that represent the priority in which they can be viewed within the context of your life.  You may re-rank or re-write them.  It's your life. 

Our success in life begins with our own commitment to Personal Development, which is the reason I’ve started with it. 

Next is your own personal health.  Without good living health, the rest of our goal accomplishment and life suffer.  

Next is Family and Friends.  There is no point in being successful with your career and lifestyle goals without a strong foundation of family and friends.  

Then is your hobbies and passions, which are the things you truly love doing.   These need to be a priority in your life, otherwise they will fall victim to your career, which is the next important life goal area. 

Goal categories 7, 8 and 9 of the 10 Life Goal categories are like "icing on the cake", and will lead to further life fulfillment . . . travel, adventure, lifestyle,  

These goal areas, like hobbies and passions, help create a life that is exciting, bold and full of adventure. The challenge is that they require money, often lots of it.  When you do well with your financial and career life goals, you'll be able to better enjoy the fruits of your labor.  

The challenge with listing these Goals in a ranked sequence like this is that this is just my personal opinion, and you may have a different view.  That’s okay.   The most important thing is that you are setting and achieving balanced goals across multiple Life Goal areas, in this case . . . 10 areas. 

Most of the Goal setting self-help books and programs I listened to in my early days seemed to focus on the exciting goals, the more traditional goals related to Lifestyle, Travel and Adventure goals. 

These are the goals that are easier to write and ones which you can get excited about.   These life goals are important to living a good life too.   They are often the goals that provide the “why” do I need to strive and improve and grow.  

Why do I need to develop myself and have a great career, besides providing for my family?  It's to live the good life, to travel the world, to live in a nice house, to not have to worry about money constantly!

The 100 Life Goals are goals that I’ve modified from my original list of 100 goals created at the age of 30, to have more universal appeal to the majority of people living in the developed world.

While they are goals that I think you will find important, you may find some of them to be unimportant to you.  If you do, no problem in changing any or all of them. 

My desire is that they give you ideas and inspire you to create your own list of 100 Life Goals. 

Take the time to design the life goals that inspire you to live fully.

Unlike most content on the web which is guided by the desire to make money (not a bad thing), I have nothing to sell on this site other than a book.   My advice is based on practical first hand experience and knowledge, not on trying to direct you to a financially driven outcome.   

Many sites and social media will focus on the best way to make money, whether it is exclusively through real estate, stock investing or other types of side hustles.  Often there is a financial incentive to "guide" your purchase of something.  My wife and I have all the money we need to live an amazing lifestyle without working another day in our life,  based on all the principles explained on this site.  

This site presents an unbiased view on how to create a good life, while looking at your entire life, not just through a narrow lens.  I update this site as my views of achieving success, happiness and life purpose evolve through first hand experience.  

The 100 recommended life goals from the 100 Life Goals Book . . . 

From my book "100 Life Goals", the following is a summary of each goal across the 10 life areas. These are goals that I have set for myself and represent the most important life goals which I believe to lead to a life well lived.

For you, may they be a starting point for reflecting on your own personal goals. 

Select some or all of these goals for yourself!  We all come from different backgrounds and different ideas on what is important throughout our life time. 

May this list inspire you to write out your own list of life goals, whether 1, 10, 50, 100 or more.
