Has anyone made them before?

I'm not talking about goals like "I'll make $1 mil before the age of __" or "I'm going to run a marathon someday".
I'm talking about promises that are broad enough to encompass how you live your life, but specific enough to 'measure' sustainability.

Here's mine:

1. To always keep in shape through regular exercise, a proper nutritional diet, and overall healthy lifestyle.

2. To never be a slave to material possessions.

That's about it for me, but I find those two things to be very important parts of my life.
As for #1, I noticed that when I let myself go, I also tend to pack on the mental bagage as well. I always want to know that I can keep myself healthy and have the ability to do anything if I put forth the effort.
For #2, I want my material possessions to compliment my life, not overrun it. I've seen it too many instances where people have beautiful homes, baller cars, and enough money to live comfortably, yet they never have time to enjoy it nor discover the simple pleasures in life. I NEVER want to get into the mindset that 'if I only had that one thing, I'd be happy'. I was happy without it before, I think it's foolish to think I'll be miserable until I get it.

How about you?

Someday, someway, somehow to defy gravity and do the impossible for this Korean boy to dunk a basketball.

Me and a friend promised to buy a private jet to share between the two of us by the age of 30.

Seeing as the cheapest one we found is 4 mil straight up, we're slightly behind right now.

To live my life in such a way that on my deathbed I'll be able to look back and say that it was mostly happy, or at least, that my impact on others was one that added predominately happiness to their lives and not sadness.

I was going to say the same thing . I'd like to be able to look back and honestly say that I lived a long, happy, and fulfilling life that also enriched or helped other lives that I touched. It's not that I'm afraid to die alone...it's just that I don't want to say goodbye to this life knowing that I wasted it.

My lifetime promise is to serve God everyday and always.

[HERMIT]

I have a couple of "lifetime promises" that I expect myself to adhere to, but I wouldn't wouldn't describe either of them in exactly those terms.
I call one a mortgage and the other one my credit card balance.

[luvHK4ever]

I promise myself to look my best in any stage of my life. (don't ever want to loose sense of fashion and look like a bum and be okay with it)

[Laica]

1.Not to be satisfied with just drifting along in life, but to always try my best to be active in something meaningful, to use my talents to do something beautiful or necessary - even if I never get famous, or rich.

2. To publish at least one book. (But first I have to write one, lol.)

[Tuxedomask]

1. Never smoke or do drugs.
2. Always try my best to keep my parents happy.

I want to be able to look back and simply say, it was a great ride.

-Always call my mom.
-Feed a friendly stray animal(s).
-Spend at least 2 hrs. of quality time with my man everyday (even if that means helping him conquer a video game).
-Perfect work attendance!!!

The usual as everyone else, such as be grateful for what you have and everything but one very personal of mine is:

1. Never be weak to the opposite sex. Ie.,If he doesnt like me, fine, i'll move on asap and focus in other stuff. countless time have I seen girls who can't move away from that person who probably will never like them back; or girls who let their boyfriend control what they wear or people to hang out. I'm not talking about abuse(it is in a way) but when they become wimp for another, sacrifice too much and not care about their needs too. I wanna see a strong spirit/mind person!
