i agree with what busentiz has just said. i would also like to add my cent opinion since i found this subject quite interesting.
"What do you want out of life?" Now that's a philosophical question that doesn't have a fixed solution. Alas, the quest for an answer will always linger on. Why because life is forever expanding and so will your desire, passion, hunger, greed, lust, and other worldly cravings. The wallstreet tycoons making millions would want to suck in billions..got an elaborative taste? just trash your 94 model in change for a brand new '12 luxurious high tech Lexus,..want to look trendy? how about dressing up like your favorite holywood star?...or how about winning a mega lottery and cruise to hawaii and relax under the warm sun gazing the high palm trees and throw some margarita on top of it and so on.... These are all natural human instincts. The desire to want more and more and it will never cease.
When i was growing up, i used to think about life a lot like for instance what do i really want to be? I even remember when i was a kid(5th grade) back then and a school teacher once asked the students in the class what they wanted to be when they grow up? As I recall a lot of them said they wanted to be doctor,engineer, and pilot and blah blah(society's major reputation jobs, you know what i mean?)...Do they actually wanted to be what they really wanted to be or do they wanted to be what their parents wanted them to be? And how many of them have transformed into the one that they have proclaimed? Well, one thing for sure, life doesn't always works as you've planned and it takes a twist and with circumstances you learn to acclimatize.
But in the end, through my personal experience and knowledge, i believe it is not what you actually want out of life but how would you make the best out of your life, may be doing something that would make living a worthwhile? Now having a passion and desire to achieve is a wonderful thing provided you don't bleed in wrongful actions. Do whatever that makes you happy and that could bring the best of you. It could be in doing little things like taking a road trip to a new territory,photography, singing, playing guitar, or writing songs. Or you could leap an extra step by engaging in social works, volunteering or anything that you could contribute to the society. Why? because happiness is in doing things. Now different people have different ways of doing things and the choice is all yours. It's the peace of mind and soul that in the end is what you would long for.
