Think about where you want to be in five years. If your answer is "I don't know" I'd advise you start creating yourself some goals. I don't believe we were each put on this planet to just sit here and watch it spin. The way we're wired is to want a higher purpose, we want meaning in our lives. We've created an economy, society, language, communication and culture to make ourselves needed, and to survive. Why do we want to survive? it's natural. And somewhere along the line it's become ok to just sit back and watch the rest of us do our thing, but what is your thing? You really want to wake up, go to work, come home and watch TV, sleep and then repeat that every day for the rest of your life? Give yourself something to strive for or you'll never find your way out of that vicious cycle. Create goals no matter how big or small, but create them with the intention of making changes in your life, and not get trapped in a cycle. Fulfilment is another thing we want naturally, I believe we can all make the goals that will enable us to feel fulfilled. Otherwise what's the point in trying to score? |
