I ask myself this question every now and then, just to see if I've made any progress, either on making my dreams a reality, or in finding new dreams if the others haven't panned out. Once you've stopped dreaming, the only thing left is the dying, and I'm not ready. I won't be. For a long time.
Right now I wake up every day, and its a day closer to Joli coming to see me. This is a good thing. It means I have something really special to live for.
But it could easily, to a much less but no less special degree, be the completion of my latest poem, or the next guitar riff, or any number of things I haven't done yet, but want or need to do.

So, What do you have to live for?
I thought you might mention this..
I play guitar, but I'm really a drummer. So, I guess I could say coming up with that perfect blend of guitar and drums is what I'm living for right now.
Oh, and some new golf clubs..really looking forward to that.
Hey good luck with that man. I think knowing percussion can actually help a lot on any instrument in terms of timing. I've heard awesome guitarists with a crappy time-sense, so coming from a drummer into a melodic or harmonic instrument is always a plus for solid chops.

Wow! So much! I really feel very blessed.........
My latest project, having made oodles of yummy money over the last few weeks, is a charity raising event for the prevention of cruelty to animals on Sunday, 24th May.
I don't want to be either too ambitious and get stressed out or the opposite so I am setting a target of raising between 1,000 and 10,000 euros on the day............ in the knowledge that anything raised is better than nothing, and that my main satisfaction will be gained from making sure that those who turn up have a great time!
Anything and everything that tomorrow can bring. I really don't know how to answer the general question asked aside fromt that. There are so many things that could happen to me tomorrow that it staggers my mind if I try to think of them so I don't I just wake up each day and find out what comes.
As for something more specific such as do I have goals/dreams that I work toward each day, or how far ahead do I plan things for my life etc, those I could answer a little better then the general answer above.
Interesting question though will be fun to read responses.

Each person will interpret this question differently shed. It's open-ended for a reason.
I live to fulfill my goals.I live to show the ones in my family who have doubted me for along time that I can.
I live to experience all that I can and make the most out of all of them,good or bad.
As for the doubters saying "No you can't." and 'You'll never make it". That's actually one of my goals, to prove them wrong.By them saying what they have said to me just makes me more determined to do it more.

in general I have many dreams, and goals. all are now better as I have someone to share them with.
mostly I look forward to talking to, or being with, my other half every day. each day that I wake up, knowing that she is there for me and I for her, makes it a day worth living
The next book I read, game I play, joke I hear, sunrise I see, sunset I see, laugh I make, people I meet. All the things I'll do tomorrow, or next week.
I have much to live for...my sons, who are in their teens, to watch them finish growing and fulfill their dreams. My future as a Doctor of Naturopathy, as I battle my mortal enemy of cancer. My best friend, to win this round against cancer with her, and help keep her free of it from now on. Another good friend, who still holds the key to my heart...to see what the future holds for us.
