Do you think you're the person you could or should be?

I had grand ideas of polls and options and all that fancy stuff but then I thought about my question again and realised that I don't think those things matter.

Who here is where they want to be?
 
I'm not where I want to be, I think I might be where I need to be.

More importantly, I know where I would like to go and I want to be a better person too.
 
I'm on the right path but money and success have never been my yard stick so they don't motivate me. I want to be creative as from a professional point of view that's when I'm happy. Personal life is excellent, beautiful wife and home with beer in the fridge.
 
I'm slowly carving a path to where I want to be. It's the right path, but there's a Hell of a lot of underbrush ahead and I forgot my machete.
 
Being where you want to be shows either a) You have remarkably low expectations of yourself or b) You are a driven and motivated individual who has the means to 'be where they want to be'. Or a combination of the two. Or something..
 
No way. I'm constantly trying (and failing) to improve myself. Not happy with the way I am but at the same time I realise that, if I did better myself, I'd still feel the same way. So I'll never be 100% happy.

Complete happiness is only achieved by selfish idiots. Anyone who can look with a brain at the world around them will see so much suffering that it's just impossible to be completely content with the way things are.
 
Not yet, but I don't actually know where I want to be. As long as I'm not standing still, it means I'm going somewhere, but until I decide where I want to go it does feel a bit tricky not knowing where to spend your efforts.

As a person, no. I feel I've gone backwards a bit. Thankfully, I'm the only thing I can change so that's something I can work on every day.

To lure the unsuspecting in. Or to identify the threads, some people sign their posts, [FnG]magnolia uses the mad face for threads he starts.

In answer to the original question(s): I'm not yet where I want to be but I'm not sure if I ever will be entirely satisfied with where I am (in a philosophical sense rather than purely geographical) as to have attained that means that I have run out of goals - if I've got nothing to strive for then what am I doing? I'm not particularly unhappy with where and who I am in a general sense but there's always room for improvement so that keeps me going, I'd like to expand my knowledge on numerous subjects, I think I'd enjoy learning another language but that's probably going to have to wait until I've finished my current studies, I'd like to live in another country again etc etc.
