    I want to wake up early, and go on a bike ride everyday.

    Ima stick to doing this because I say I'm going to and no one can stop me from being sleep-in-late-person but ME!

    Honestly, I would like to have more self confidence. Either it's on academic, work related stuff, relationships, music, writing or whatever. I feel like I don't believe in myself that much and I wasn't like that as a kid. I always thought that I would do great things when I grow up, and then I did grow up, but I didn't do as much as I wanted or became the person I wanted to be. I know that I'm still young so there's time for that, so I guess it's my main goal. Maybe not be who I thought I would be, but believe that I can be a way better version of myself in general.

    I feel like I don't put enough efforts on things that I should do and sometimes spend too much time on things that aren't that important and then complain about things not working out, lol.

    If I have any motivational advice is to try to avoid laziness. Doing new stuff and filling your time with produtive activities always helps. It can be learning a new language, an instrument, learning how to draw, playing sports, writing, singing, dancing, working out or whatever, there should be something that you like to do out there.

    Also, I'm not a very social person, but having friends do help in many occasions. So, even if you are an introvert, try to be open to friendships and you really can go through life easier and in a more fun way.

    Another advice that I believe it's true is that communication is very important in any type of relationship. So many things can happen based on assumptions and so many damage can be caused in fights, so I believe that talking your problems out is usually the right move.

    Might put some more thoughts here later, but for now I think that's it. Nice idea for a thread pssst. Could help some people here.

    Edit: Some life goals listed:

    Major ones:
    1 - Be more confident in myself
    2 - Get a better understanding on life
    3 - Publishing my book I started 11 years ago
    4 - Eventually creating a family
    5 - Find a job I'm really passionated about.
    6 - Be more empathetic to people

    Minor ones:
    1 - Revive my YouTube channel
    2 - Making music
    3 - Making more books
    4 - Maybe doing a movie/animation based on one of my creations
    5 - Be rich to help people.

    PS: Not in an especific order.

    i have many goals i want to achieve so i guess i will write them here and check them in the future.
    1. i want to accomplish my dream to finish learning my 4th language(Turkish) and pick up more languages in the future.
    2. i have always had a goal of understanding life and what are we and why are we here but i never really had the chance to do it. so i will study Islam, Christianity and other religions if possible to get my answer.
    3. one of my hobbies is speedcubing and i have a very strong goal of reaching a sub 10 seconds avg. in the future.
    4. learning how to swim (i can't swim), traveling and playing soccer(real football) are also on the list.
    5. sky diving is a huge dream that i wish to accomplish.
    e; 6. i also want to open a library of my own because i want a quiet place to read and i am also an introvert so communication is kinda challenging. so i want to make my communicating skills better for sure. as Totoca12 mentioned.

    Nice, you know 3 languages already? That's cool. I know Portuguese and I think I'm decent at English, and for now it's good for me, haha. But I do have a wish to learn more languages in the future. I already know some Spanish, so I was thinking about Spanish and French, let's see how it goes.

    Also, your second goal is a big goal of mine as well. Even though I have my beliefs already, I want to have some more defining experiences on the matter as well.

    Nice comment on the "real football" thing, haha. As a brazilian guy that really likes "soccer" I can not understand why american football is called football since they barely put their feet on the ball, lol (PS: I don't want to start a whole debate, though. Hahaha.).

    PS: I also didn't comment this on my post, but I have a book that I'm trying to write since I was 11 (so half of my life, lol). It's a fantasy book (the name Alzakhion is from one of the stories), but I'm kinda creatively stuck for so long. Still, it's a life goal to publish that book someday.

    3rd one was a goal of mine for a while. I had an Youtube channel with my friends, but we only got like 140 subscribers after trying for like 2 or 3 years and we gave up. Don't do the same, keep posting and I believe you can do it.

    PS: It's not a major goal, but if we could revive our YouTube channel it would be a fun thing for sure.

    language has always been a big passion for me and its extremely fun. if you want to learn a fresh new language, i recommend Arabic. although it may look difficult but to me it is the best language ever.
    i also have my own beliefs but only because of people around me. i thought that if i am a true muslim then i have to know the context of the quran and the meaning of it all. so i will study a few religions. to get all of the perspectives then commit.

    Just to follow up on this, I woke up a little after 2 today and ate cake. This was not even mildly close to what my goal was. I'll update everyone on how tomorrow goes I guess...
