What monumental accomplishment have you or would you like to accomplish in life before/after the end of the Mayan Calendar?

On the end of the Mayan Calendar, it was predicted that it may be the end of human kind on Earth. That isn't my topic or my focus.

I want to focus on what you have or want to do in your life before/after the end of the Mayan Calendar.

Maybe you feel accomplished from helping someone or you feel accomplished because you stood up for your beliefs and others found you inspiring.

If human life ended at the end of the Mayan Calendar, would you feel content where your life is now? Why?

Let's try to think realistic positive thoughts and spread them to people who need them around us.

Laugh. Live. Love.

    Dec 4 2012: I'd be quite OK if the world ended on 12/21.

    PS: But just in case it doesn't, I would like to get a lot of people who are convinced that it will end, to PayPal me all of their financial assets before 12/21.

    Dec 3 2012: Wanted to be able to say that I created something for others. Even if the world somehow ends at the end of the Mayan calender, I would be happy with where I am in my life because this year I actually did create something with a friend. With a friend, I created and released a game to the public. Even if it fails or the world ends, I finally did something that I've always been interested in doing since I was a kid.
