So I continue to ask ChatGPT some questions to see what answers it returns to me for a bit of fun.

I’m fast becoming aware that AI is like that nerdy and logical person that we all meet in life that takes things as they are.

Never questioning, never taking risks, never enjoying life, never throwing caution into the wind, never having love escapades, never being moved by people, art , poetry and stories.

Today I ask it for 50 Goals One Should Aim or Achieve in Life.

Here’s its answers and my own responses in italics or emoticons:

1. Achieve financial stability. 👏 👏👏
2. Buy a house. (Create a home that expresses you and all that you and your family love instead)
3. Get a higher education degree. (Get a trade instead or even better go in the arts or into community service).
4. Start a family. (In whatever form that takes or is for you).
5. Own a successful business. (Find something you love doing for work; or find someone you love working for and with).
6. Pay off any debt. 👏👏👏👏
7. Save for retirement. (Save for any time. Consume less, enjoy life now)
8. Travel to new and exciting places. (Discover your neighbourhood and local community. Say hello to neighbours)
9. Experience different cultures (go meet your neighbours who may be immigrants and ask them questions about their culture and food)
10. Learn a new language 👏👏👏
11. Play a musical instrument. 👏👏👏
12. Write a book. (Read good books/literature/ books that challenge how you think)
13. Start a blog or vlog. 👏👏 (NOT ON SOCIAL MEDIA. In fact, get OFF social media and instead write or share photos or videos on your own site (don’t monetise it either) even though no one may see them. Share these with your own family through private means – not strangers).
14. Get in shape and maintain a healthy lifestyle. 👏👏👏
15. Try new hobbies and activities. 👏👏👏
16. Take up a sport. 👏👏👏
17. Join a club or community group.👏👏👏
18. Learn to cook new dishes. (Cook with others, learn new dishes from your immigrant neighbours or community centres)
19. Get a fulfilling career. (Have a fulfilling life with joyful and memorable moments)
20. Help others and give back to the community. 👏👏👏
21. Make a positive impact on the world. (See 20). If you make a negative impact, NEVER delete or cancel the other person, instead ASK questions and SEEK to understand yourself and WHY you think that way. You may be wrong. Accept that.
22. Be more organized. (In your own way. Not by how some “hack thought leader” or “influencer” told you how. Make it in your own way).
23. Learn to manage time effectively. Bah. Time is a construct. Do what you want, when you want or need to as long as it doesn’t hurt anyone else.
24. Set and achieve personal goals. 👏👏👏 But don’t worry if you haven’t achieved them. If you tried, you probably learned something about yourself. Reflect on the process and the journey and try again (or change then) when you’re ready.
25. Take a break and relax when needed. As often as you need. NEVER feel guilty.
26. Improve communication skills. (Ask more questions, reflect on your own behaviours, thoughts, habits and actions. Ask why you behave this way. Seek to understand others different to you. Clicking delete, cancelling, spamming and trolling are cowardly actions that hurt you – and hurt community and society on a grander scale).
27. Get out of your comfort zone.👏👏👏
28. Overcome a fear.👏👏👏
29. Develop a growth mindset. (Just by doing all the stuff here means this).
30. Improve mental health and well-being.👏👏👏
31. Find inner peace. (Accepting yourself and knowing that through little actions of love, openness and acceptance you can make bigger impacts in the world)
32. Practice gratitude. (If you’re breathing, be thankful)
33. Find your passion. (Living)
34. Improve self-confidence. (Know yourself)
35. Take care of your physical health (Go for a walk)
36. Find a work-life balance. 👏👏👏
37. Cultivate meaningful relationships. 👏👏👏
38. Find true love. (Love with a spouse, partner, parent, friend, every relationship in our life should bring meaning and joy – even have it’s ups and downs).
39. Improve your social skills. 👏👏👏
40. Build a strong support system. 👏👏👏
41. Find a fulfilling hobby. 👏👏👏 (actively enjoy finding new ones)
42. Practice self-care. 👏👏👏
43. Improve your mental health. (Remove toxic people and situations from your life that are destroying your soul, wearing you down, changing you emotionally, making you sick)
44. Find a mentor. (You don’t need one – seek out good books instead thar make you question life, your actions. Journal instead. The answers come out through your writing).
45. Build a personal brand. (🤮 No you don’t. Be YOU. NOT A BRAND).
46. Learn to negotiate effectively. 👏👏👏 It’s an art form.
