By the end of your life, what do you hope to have accomplished?

A doctorate in theology.
A family, with full grown children and maybe some grandchildren.
I would like to have been in a pastoral position at a church for a considerable length of time.
I want to have written a book.
I would like to have taught a few college or graduate level courses.
...but ultimately, when I am at the end of my life, I want to know that I have lived it well. I want to have had good, healthy relationships. I want to have fallen in love. I want to have learned how to fail. I want to leave a legacy of faithfulness.
