Someone asked me this on ask.fm the other day, they said "What is your main goal in life?"
I didn't really have to think about it (thank goodness). This was my reply.

What is your main goal in life?
1) Have a beautiful family that I love and provide for
2) Help others get through life
3) Make a difference in the world
4) Become more Christlike every step of the way

This may look strange for an 18-year-old teenage boy. But those really are my goals of life.
1) I really can't wait to have a family. I am going to get married at a young age I think. I'll be 20 when I get home from my mission and I'm hoping to be married by 24. I just can't wait to hang out with my best friend every day. She is going to be amazing. I can't wait to find her. And then our kids will be awesome. I want about eight, because big families are fun. I know that'll be hard, and be expensive, but it'll be worth it. Families are key in today's world. They are what keep us from going crazy. I also plan on adopting later in life.
2) I LOVE HELPING OTHERS. I think part of the reason is, is because I struggled to find a purpose in living back in 9th grade, and some people helped me then. But I love just talking to people and seeing what they think, or what they've gone through. I love listening. I love hearing them. I want to listen, feel what they're feeling, and then try to find a solution with them. It's one of my favorite things.
3) I really want to make a difference, whether it just be through my kids, or through my job. I want to do something that change the way people live. I don't know if I'll be satisfied with any other type of job. I want to be influential and improve people's lives.
4) This is what really matters. I want to learn. We came on this Earth to learn and to have experiences. As we make mistakes, we learn what we should be choosing, then make amends and start choosing that way, taking us to a more Christlike life. I strive every day to have more patience, to be kinder, to be more loving, to be perfect, like Christ. I am very far away, but I know I will continue to get closer, a milimeter at a time.
