For me its always been just 3 things
1 my own house with no mortgage
2 a girlfriend
3 Only work if I want too
I have achieved them but would now add a 4th which is good health and thats not as good as I would like ,still 3 out of 4 is not bad

Belief/Hope/Love/Truth, Faith not only in humanity and/or religion but faith in ourselves to be able to rise above our selfish egotistical needs, a Belief that one day we will eventually evolve past reacting blindly to our archaic instincts for power/lust,
Sometimes when I close my eyes at night when all around me is still I try to listen to whats inside myself, and on occasion I feel I warm glow inside, and I believe that we, the human race, are on an incredible journey, I feel connected with everyone and everything, it can often bring a tear to my eye, it's like for an instant I can feel the love that everyone has inside themselves, for just that moment I can see clearly, things make sense, I don't care for the need for power, lust, respect off the respected, I don't won't fame or fortune, I don't want to grow old watching Coronationstreet after working myself to the bone to support an unjust and inadequate government, I just want the truth, I just want to be more than I am, a better person, to believe that no matter how crazy things seem in the world today that we will one day learn from are mistakes, that we will rise above are petty needs, sometimes when I close my eyes I believe this, it's that belief that keeps me going, without it wouldn't be here.

If I'm being logical, happiness is all soemone needs in life. When we're happy, we do all we can to prolong that happiness and when we're unhappy, we do all we can to become happy.
My own realistic goals that I'd like to achieve though are;
1. Find a stable job that I enjoy which pays enough money to live comfortably.
2. Finally get my own car.
3. Get myself a house that I'm proud to live in.
4. Start a family.
