Reply to comment by ProtopetPhantom in Be messy and fast with new goals [Discussion] by TreatThompson

I’m right there with you

Achieving/reaching for things/having a purpose/having meaning is the magic of life for me

If I was just wandering around not trying to pursue anything I’d be more anxious

Yep I’ve noticed in my life when I don’t have goals I tend to just plateau. Obviously you want to avoid burnout but people should always challenge themselves and try to be a better person than they were the day before.

I find that if you have a goal, you might not reach it. But with no ambition in life, you are never disappointed. I've followed this rule for nearly 40 years, and am in constant mental and physical agony!
