Goals in Life, what are they?
100 Life Goals for 2021!
What are your goals in life?
What are your goals for 2021 overall?
Do you have any?
Now that 2020 is finally over and the year is starting out, most of you may be just starting to write down your New Year’s Resolutions.
It’s time to consider your goal ideas for 2021.
This year, I decided I was going to try something different.
I wanted to write down 100 Life Goals that I wanted to achieve within the next 10 years.
I am going to be 35 in the new year, so this would take me to 45!
Gees I feel totally old typing that.
But this was something I really wanted to write down in order to give me more clarity and purpose in life.
No more wondering what is next!
Instead, I will make it an opportunity to work through these goals over the next few years.
I have major goals in life that I definitely want to achieve and do.
When I was in my 20’s, I did have a list of 20 things to do before you turn 20! One of them was to visit France which I did in my late 20’s!
Now that I am in my 30’s, I want more concrete life goals to achieve.
As you can see, it’s never too early or late to work towards your 100 life goals or as some call it, a bucket list!
Just start today!
If you are looking for answers to any of the following questions:
-
What are some good life goals?
-
What are some examples of personal goals?
-
What are some good goals to set?
-
How do I make a life goal list?

And how to create a list of 100 goals in life
We will go into more detail below.
We want to look at the most common life goals so that you can see if any of them relate to you at this stage in your life.
Use the goal and money planner I used to not only plan career goals but helps with meeting financial goals and mapping out what needs to be done to move to the next level.
“Remember, my 100 life goals ideas, might be the same as yours!”
You want to come up with your own list of 100 life goals that reflect as a person.
Don’t worry, we will give you some ideas below.
Before we get started on my 100 life goals list, we did want you to follow us on Instagram for more tips.

What does it mean to have life goals?
Life goals are dreams and or ideas you wish to achieve in your life hopefully before a certain time.
It could be a 10-year plan or a plan before you die.
By creating a life goal, you are committing yourself to achieve them as they will make you happy as well as make you feel complete.
People have different reasons for creating 100 life goals. Whatever your reason, be sure you are doing it for yourself and never feel pressured to do anything.
“Having positive goals in life will make for a better YOU!”
My 100 Life Goals List:
I really wanted my goals in life to reflect where I was in my life and where I wanted to be in 10 years.
But I needed to be realistic in what I wanted to achieve in order to make it work.
Setting unrealistic goals is only going to make you fail and feel discouraged. That’s why you need to tailor these goals for you and only you.
Don’t just go with common life goals, really dig deep!
Dreams and Goals are GREAT! Make Some!!!
Living life is important, but living your best life ever should always be your ultimate goal.
Here is a list of goal ideas for 2021 that I made for myself.

How to create a list of life goals
We have to give a lot of amazing 100 life goals ideas that you can use for yourself.
But how do you write a life goal list?
Before you create your life goals or a bucket list if you wish, think about what you want for yourself.
Don’t include anything you have already achieved this is where you see your future. Make sure your goals are specific and align with your lifestyle.
When we mean to make it specific, we mean, instead of writing you want to be happy, think about what makes you happy.
Will you be happy if you have $3000 in your bank account?
Then one of your life goals would be to save $3000 in one year!
Something along those lines.
Goal setting will only impact you positively as you working on achieving things in your life that will truly make you very happy in the end.
Positive Goals in Life
Having goals is essential to everyone’s life as it gives you something to look towards!
We all want to feel a sense of purpose and I found after creating my 100 life goals, I was able to look forward to doing things that would further my life.
I thought long and hard about what I wanted. This made really easy to come with 100 goals I knew I wanted to pursue and look forward to.
Sharing it with my life partner also made it more fun and achievable.
