Do we really need a Goal ??????


What is your goal in life?... You need a goal in life!....You don't have a goal in life?....these and many other similar questions are thrown by goalcholics at me every now and then.

Goalcholics according to me are people who constantly just worry about the fact that they do not have a goal in life. Do not enjoy the present as they are too busy in search of a goal.

But my question is whats wrong in not having one. Is it the end of the world?Does it mean that one without a goal cannot be happy. Look at me... I am so happy! I love life. I enjoy everyday. I feel thankful everyday that so far I have so many wonderful memories from my past. And each passing day adds more.

I feel I am blessed. Isn't it a wonderful feeling? Whatever, the world may say I am happy and would like to believe that this is the best way to lead life.

I do believe in planning, but I do not believe in living with the constant pressure of having a goal.
Not enjoying the present because you haven't set a goal or you have not yet figured out the goal in life. I am sorry but I am happy without THE GOAL in life.

Now, this again does not mean, I do not have any goals..i do have small goals..like I want to lose weight, I want to have a baby soon, I want to see my company grown from 25 to 200.

But I want to remember the process too of reaching there. And i don't want to over analyze whether these are goals or just wishes...

All I want to say is, I do not want to get bogged down by the argument of goal setting.

I would rather get out of the way then get walked on.
