Your Ideal Self - How Close?

[sparrow]

On a scale of 1-10 (1 being very far away and 10 being bang on!) how close do you feel you are to your ideal self - What you imagine yourself being, or rather; wanting to be.

Personally, i'd place my current self at a reasonable 7, meaning that i'm not extremely close to what I could or want to be; but i'm not unhappy or displeased with the way I am now.

Sure, I could eat more healthily and live a better lifestyle and I could study harder and concentrate on more meaningful activities in my life but at the moment, i'd say i'm pretty comfortable.

So Newgrounders, how close are you?

[sirtom93]

I would say 0-10. Theres a fine line between being alive and dead.

[ArmandoMorat]

Around a 6 or so.

There are a lot of improvements that could be made, but I could be a lot worse.

Hell, fuck, I don't even know what my ideal self looks like.

[Zombified]

8ish I could improve in some ways, but I'm pretty happy.

[firetail]

I'd say I'm a 6...I'm striving towards my goals, but I'm just too lazy :o

[TOEZ]

I'd give myself a 5.

Not too bad, nor too good either.

[JKMonkey]

around 8, im pretty happy with where im at right now

[RacistBassist]

9.

Only thing I would change is growing black or brown facial and arm hair instead of blonde.

:'(

[RedCoin]

About 8 maybe.
Self esteem is generally good at the moment, I wish I had better will power though.
It seems to be at the root of all the bad things I see in myself.

[InsertFunnyUserName]

I'd say a 4.5.

I've got a way to go.

I couldn't give less of a fuck or not if you thought I was a worthless piece of shit, or, who is to say that that is not how I view my ideal self-but with brown facial hair instead of blonde

[joabos]

10.
I am exactly what i always wanted to be, and as far-fetched as this sounds, i'm very happy with it.

[So-Smart-s0-Dumb]

11, i'm too wise for my own good, being an underage 'ready-to-die-for-my-country' agnostic african american skater hawtie whose already figured what the goal for all beings should be just makes everything else seem so lame, and thereby making my life too above average so now I can't cognitively appreciate anything.

[DingoTheDog]

eh... about 2" I guess.

I feel like a 5

I am my ideal self. I love myself.

[Evark]

My ideal self has six-pack abs, a fulfilling relationship with an amazing woman, a well-paying job, expertise on the guitar, a sporty japanese motorcycle, a two-door sports car with a loud-ass stereo system, no debt, no worries, and many other of the hundreds of wastes and wants people hope for.

I wouldn't say I'm particularly close to any of those goals, but I'm not necessarily distant from any of them either. I mean, it's hard to quantify the quality of your life, especially with something as unpredictable as your distance from realizing your goal of your ideal self. Nobody's perfect, and the ideal self is an ever-changing formula. Sure, you might have some common goals with the you of yesterday, but overall, there're gonna be some serious differences. You might realize something you wanted before is relatively unimportant. You might come to know a new hobby that you hadn't ever knew you enjoyed before.

The point here is: I have no idea. I think I'll always have an ideal self that I'm striving toward, even if I've reached the goals I set previously. That's the point, isn't it? To always strive for improvement in your life or the lives of others?

5. I'm still young. My "Ideal self" I would picture being a grown man.

[Kokojo]

About 8.

I lack the motivation to make it go up, but i know i could get up to 11 if i wanted.

I am not ideal, but i know my limits, and these are my best pals.

[Sawdust]

1 because I'm not sexy or a genius or an athlete.
