My Manifesto: The Incoherent Ramblings of a Madman

She lies and says she's in love with him. Can't find a better man.
She dreams in color, she dreams in red. Can't find a better man.
Can't find a better man.

My head hurts. This week I have been doing a lot of thinking about where my life is heading - and I've realised it is not heading anywhere. I lost drive and focus half way through university - my goals changed from trying to go well at unviersity, to just get the hell out of it anyway I could with some kind of degree behind my name to show for the hours of work and money. Now, I find myself re-assessing my goals in life, and I have found, that to re-assess my goals in life I need to actually get some.

At this stage my short term goal in life was to save 10,000 for puting towards a deposit for some form of residential property by the end of the year - this has changed. Now, my short term goal in life is to negotiate my job contract to the amount of money I was initially "offered subject to negotiation".

My long term goal was to own several properties, rent them out, and live off the earnings, along with owning a small business. I realise that if these goals were ever achieved, I would be wanting bigger and better things, more and more goals to achieve - but for now, I am aiming small - defeatist? perhaps, but I look at it more as taking one step at a time..after all you need a foundation to build anything solidly on.

While my properties are making money - I shall be travelling the world...that's the plan...but the ultimate goal? there is none. How I'm going to achieve these steps in the ladder? Not by working for nothing, not by working for someone else, not by living here. Will I do anything about trying to make a difference to my life? I think at this stage I'll give it 3 years and see if things change for the better - but will I even get the chance to give it 3 years? We shall find out in the coming weeks.
