Anything that makes sense to you. The whole point is to give focus for your life.

Here's mine to give you an example:

What I want from Life:
Overview:
1. Live my life with purpose & drive.
2. Improve myself to create value for others.
3. Impact others, even in death.

- I want to Live My Life Like I am Destined to Die Early: I want to believe that my life has a purpose and that time is running out to finish my life’s work. I don’t want to be so burdened down by meaningless of everyday life. I want to pursue the things that truly matter to me. Each person has only a few days to accomplish their life work, so I need to make the most of it.

- I want to Become a Male of Value: I believe that there are fundamentally distinct roles between males and females. I also believe in the functional purpose of hierarchy. I desire to excel in my role as a male to provide value to all who interact with me. I do not wish to oppress, but by force of my personality, people will choose to follow me.

- I want to Start an Ideological Revolution: I have visions of anarchy. I want to tear down the curtains of the social structure to reveal our true humanity. I see the love of security. I see the need for uncertainty. Now is the time for change.

- I don’t want to work for money. I want money to come as an extension of my actions: By pursuing my passions and by giving value to others, money should naturally flow in to me. Working for the purpose of earning money will only contribute to the meaningless of everyday life.

- I don’t need an organization. If I do things right, then it will happen by itself. The path that I choose is full of risk, but has great rewards in the end. Once I lay down a path through the wilderness, people will naturally want to follow. People need to cling onto some from of structure and will organize themselves around my concept.

- I want to Become a Person whom my Grandchildren Will Be Proud of: If I am to become great, then there will be a great burden placed on my children. They will be cursed to live in my shadow and the path that I choose is only right for a select few. I want my grandchildren to be in a position where they do not have to carry my burden, yet are still able to appreciate what I have done.

- I want to Become a Concept: When I die, I will cease to be a real person to others, but will become a memory. Once I leave this physical form, I will only be left in the minds of those whom I impacted. I want my memory to stand for something that drives others to action.
