Happiness Goal Fulfillment
Create a plan where you establish goals that will involve you creating something, go after them full force...having a goal and plan that is the key to happiness...having things to look back at on your life that you have accomplished this is important. Keep it varied. First goal right now is establish a good understanding of Nietzchean Agency such that you can say this is the type of agency you should have in the background when you are reading his work.

My Own Religion
I really want to develop my own religion full or daily rituals to remind me of great things I need to do. It would also be important for raising a kid if that ever happens. I would try to guide his youth education by the idea (turned into a pithy mantra) that the world is harsh and chaotic unless you get off to a fast start, learn all the classics that are debated, the way the world operates, and are in a position - as soon as possible, to make up your OWN mind about things (which is really, really hard to do in a satisfying way)...that is what makes modern life so hard....for the first time in human history a large majority of people are expected to make important decisions of meaning and value on their own. Also this is what freedom is.
