Having a goal in life

Hi everyone
About 6 or 7 month ago i found out that a lot of people suffered from a really big problem that they even didn't know about which was Not having a goal in life.
most people you see around you(perhaps including yourself)have no goal in life.they just get a job and get married then they have children and then their children will get married and then they die.there is no difference between them and a sheep.

You know what's it like to not have a goal in life?
It's like you are in a big candy store with all kinds of candies and you don't know what you you want!!

If you don't have a goal in life a time will come for you when you are old and you are going to die and you suddenly realize that you have done nothing significant in your life while you could have done a lot of awesome things!!!

I read somewhere that a cemetery is a rich place.rich with people with COULDABEENS and SHOULDABEENS.people who could do a lot of things in their life especially when they were young but they just lived like sheeps and died like sheeps.

So what can you do about it?

1-You should think of something that you love to do in life and achieve it.take all the time you need, a week even.because you are going to plan your life on it.
***attention that it should be achievable.what does it mean?It means that you should be able to tell when you have reached your goal.for example saying that i want to be a good person is not a goal or that i want to educate myself is not a goal or that i want to expand my business is not a goal.but for example building a house or wining some kind of prize or wining a marathon is goal.It should be exact with details

2-You should think of the steps that you should take to reach it.

3-set a time limit for each step.

This was just a small reminder to everyone including myself that having a goal is very important in life and everyone should have one.I'm sure there are a lot of books explaining how to exactly find a goal.

Now if you have a goal that every time you think of it your heart starts beating and you become excited it's less likely that you will get depressed or feel empty and if you want to masturbate or watch porn you will tell yourself that if you want to reach that goal you should stop this addiction and stop watching porn.
Thank you for reading it and I'll be glad to read your opinions.

 

What you say is true Alloallo if you just focus on yourself you'll end up alone and old.but these two things are not in opposition in fact you can benefit others with your achievements,too.
The important thing is that you don't just live without any purpose in life.
My purpose in life is spiritual it's kind of complicated to explain it.

 

Dear Verhart
That is not what i meant.
I was referring to the sheep as an example which is very similar to some people.you can say a rabbit or a lion!
I was not referring to that aspect of a sheep you know?!
