What do you Seek?

In the book of John, John the Baptist points out Jesus to two of his disciples who immediately peel off to follow Jesus. When they come up to him, he asks them one question, "What do you seek?" A friend pointed out last night that this simple question transcends the normal small talk that one is used to. This question goes to the heart of us all.
The reason this question is so profound is that if you don't know what you are seeking in your life, you wander through life with no purpose. As you meander through life aimlessly, you become just a reflection of the goals, dreams and desires of those around you. How can you know who you are and what defiines you if you don't know what your goals are? If you don't know where you are going, how can you know if you are getting close, going the right direction or even if you are going the completely wrong way?
Our goals can be short-term, long-term, and life-long in duration and can apply to various aspects of life. I think I finally have mine set in a manner that works for me, and I will share some of the thought process here in case it will help someone else with figuring out their path.

Life Goal: To serve Jesus well and hear "Well done, good and faithful servant" when I come home to Him.
Career Goal: To write and publish books that point people to Jesus Christ and to strive to live moral lives
Fianancial Goal: To pay off past debts without incurring new ones. Develop secondary income stream.
Relationship Goal: Find and marry the woman that the Lord has set aside for me. Build a godly family.

Those are the big goals. I have to define the smaller stage goals that will get me to these big ones, but I hope you have the idea. Sit down, contemplate what you want out of life and then set the goals and don't let anything stop you from going for them. You might need to reevaluate from time to time, but it's a start.
