In more than one occasion have I the experience when one asks me what are my plans for the future. What are my dreams. What do I plan to do. In response, I would most commonly say, "I have absolutely no idea".
It may or may not be a commonly known fact that I indeed have no dreams. I ask myself the same question sometimes and a conclusion seems far from my grasp.
In the simplest sense, I want a simple life. Get a job, work, retire. Not much of a retirement plan but I have not really thought about what job I would want either. In contrast, I also want many things in life. A powerful computer, a nice house, good food, etc.
The thing about not having a goal in life is like throwing darts onto a board then drawing a target around it. Without a goal, there is no clear direction where you would want to go or what plan you should make to shorten your journey there.
Having a goal is like the finishing line of a race. Without it, you do not know when to stop, nor would you have the motivation to run in the first place.
Have a dream in life and go at it with full force.

ReplyDeleteThere is no such thing as a life without dreams. Dreams are by extension an extrapolation of your desires, and humans are programmed in such a way that we desire something. It's a basic survival instinct.
ReplyDeleteThe poor desire basic necessities. The better-off desire luxury. The luxurious desire even more luxury. The chain goes on.
Just because you can't see a dream now doesn't mean you don't have one - you merely haven't discovered it yet. It might take a year, it might take 10; it might even take forever, but eventually you will discover what really matters to you. Don't ask me why; I am still searching for my dream myself.
