Fixing the Best Life Goal
We live in a fast-paced society where how much money we earn defines the extent of luxury that we can afford in our lives. Some individuals are Spartan, whilst others are materialistic. In this article, I want to admit that I'm not really a successful business tycoon as many would like to be. However, even then, I think I can still provide valuable service to my clients that many other tycoons would not be able to provide. This is not to promote myself, but to show you that while fixing our goals, we sometimes make a blunder right at the beginning of the process.
The mistake that several young adults I've seen making is that mistaking their career goals as their life goals. I myself spent a few years of my life in misery, blaming myself for not being able to get the promotion I wanted, or for not being "successful" and buying the expensive apartment in Manhattan. Conversely, after spending days in nothing but frustration and a feeling that I had no purpose in this life, I discovered that it was a grave mistake to define "success" with only my career ambitions.
A man might die, but his actions live on. Thinking about Abraham Lincoln, I wanted to find out what was so special in him that made him stand out from the rest of the presidents of the U.S. I then discovered how his actions and willingness to keep the U.S.A from breaking apart earned him respect.
For me and for any other human being, the "best" life goal can never be buying the most expensive apartment in Manhattan. Instead, I would emphasize that we all can have your own customized best life goals. Those life goals would be a mixture of our career ambitions along with our extent of willingness to contribute to society and humanity as a whole. Regardless of the fact that we live in an individualistic society, we must open our eyes and see the world around us from a new viewpoint. It is what we do and what we think that makes us happy. Ergo, to fix the best life goal for you, make up a goal that is realistic, achievable, practical and does not make you feel uncomfortable about being your true self.
