I remember that when I was 15 years old, I believed that the goal of life is reasonable selfishness, that is, to get the maximum amount of pleasure in my whole life.
Somewhere around 20 years ago, I decided that until I found the meaning of life, I had two goals: 1) to find the meaning of life and 2) until that moment – eternal life.
For five years now, I believe that the goal of life (including mine) is to develop and spread culture, raise healthy and intelligent children who are useful for society, create other values for preserving culture, biodiversity and the planet's ecology, and explore space in the next few thousand years. In fact, it is the same eternal life, but not for this particular body, but for the genetic and cultural heritage that enabled it to live and think.
Actually, for this purpose, I have already answered more than 100 questions on this site ))
It's good to have goals in life. Moving through life is easier with goals.
But this is not necessary at all.
Sometimes it's just enough to follow what you're interested in-life usually knows where we need to go.
Problems start when we start thinking that we should have a big purpose in life, and if we don't have one, then something is wrong with us.
The purpose of life presupposes that there is one direction in which we should move, and everything that does not fall under this direction we should avoid.
If my goal in life is to become a writer, and I'm suddenly interested in cryptocurrencies/Chinese language/photography, then I should say no to them and continue doing what I told myself I would do just because I said so.
It's like going on vacation in a strange country and denying yourself the pleasure of turning into cute little towns just because you told yourself that you were already on your way to Point A.
And this can still be understood in the case of a vacation, where our time is limited.
But in life, we have more than enough time to follow our interests and try, try, try.
And, as Steve Jobs said, you can only connect the dots by looking backwards, but not by looking forward.
Of course! The goal is a direction to understand in which direction you want to move, what you want to achieve in your life. Without a goal, you exist thoughtlessly.
I don't have a goal. I do not know if this is a good thing or a bad thing. It's just that I've said many times that I would never want to achieve anything less than, for example, I could. And it seems to me that to set a goal for yourself is to limit yourself. Life is such an unpredictable thing that it is very stupid to limit yourself in your desires. It is very stupid to wish for one thing, and also to be upset if this one thing does not happen in your life.
I get high from every day, every moment and every event. I love both small things and global events that occur in my life. And I can't say that something that is happening in my life right now gives me less pleasure than it would give me one desired thing. I can't imagine what it's like – I would like to go to Eurovision, but no one has ever heard me say that, and no one will ever hear me say that. This a priori can't be the goal, and for me it's always been strange when people say: “I do music because I would like to achieve such a result and collect an Olympic medal.”
Well, great, here you put it together. What's next?
Oh, what a great question! For me, life itself is the goal. It doesn't need anything else. You just open your eyes in the morning and it's good. The world is so diverse, every moment is different from the previous one, every day is full of life. Why invent any other capital goals?)
There are three goals in life that I strive for. It's about becoming a famous writer, being a favorite teacher for your future students, and finally finding the love of your life.�
The first, perhaps the most important of them. I want to write a book that will become a classic in the future. To do this, I try to study the works of other writers, annalize them and emphasize the ideas from there (not copy, of course).�
Becoming a teacher who is loved is the most difficult thing for me. After all, this requires strong nerves, be able to communicate with students and actually become their friend.�
But as for the love of my life, this is the most impossible thing for me, although there is still hope. I don't think there's a girl in my life who's exactly what I imagined.
It's funny, platitudes are a plus, but more original things are a minus (even if they seem far from reality).
By topic. The goal is to understand happiness, I think so. In love, family. To make your work enjoyable. To achieve a high level of self-development. Something like that.
Go to New Zealand,namely to the island of Matama in Hobbiton. Buy (rent) Bilbo Baggins ' house and live there with his dog and books, do photography, cook,travel, help people, run a blog, and maybe even make homemade soap.
Please do not minusovat for frivolity, because I am quite serious.)
I'm looking for it. At the moment, I can't give an answer to the question of why I live, which means that I can't choose the purpose of my life. The phrase “I live without a goal” sounds terrible, but while I'm looking for it, I'll have to stay in this status.
