Life Goals...

If I can accomplish all my life goals, that'd be a miracle. If I could survive to an old and happy age in reasonably good health that would be a blessing. But if I manage to accomplish many of my life goals, my survival to that old and happy age while sharing food, health, music, art and learning with the ones I love and others; then I will guarantee the value of my satisfaction.

James P. Mills:

I think this is a start of a new philosophical/political paradigm . Or just a really old one. In any case, I feel this is pretty good distilled wisdom/analysis from my friend and aspiring professional writer and historian, James Pickett Mills the Third.
