setting goals in life...

yay or nay?

it's nay for me. i don't really think setting goals would
help me get from life what i want. especially since i don't
know what i want from life :)

but seriously, do you think setting goals is a good thing?

yes, goals are essential. No matter how false they are,
they give you a real reason to exist. What the goals
are...well that's up to you, but everyone has to have
something they want to acheive.

My only goal is to have my Irish Sheepherder's breakfast
every morning.

depends on your personality i guess...

if you have a strong spirit of challenge, you probably feel
worthless and useless and lifeless and bad without a goal in
life. if you're lazy and nihilist by nature, then i guess
it's ok to not have any (won't help you cure lazyness
though).

personally i can try to set goals in life but it doesn't
make me struggle to achieve them in any way (so completely
pointless)... maybe my lazyness, lack of motivation,
nihilism and all that are just so big, no goal could ever
stand a chance against them...

i never really set specific longterm goals for myself, more
like a general path that i try to stay somewhat close to.

...you might as well try to set some anyway. it's more
likely to do you good than harm (unless your goal in life is
to achieve the record of highest jump over an active
volcano, or something like that...).

HAHAHA, you seem to be in a good mood today :)

"personally i can try to set goals in life but it doesn't
make me struggle to achieve them in any way (so completely
pointless)"

i think that kind of goes for me as well..i have a few
things in mind and am trying to achive them, but im not
really struggling. im just optimistic about it and think
they're going to happen eventually :)
(nothing extreme like jumping volcanos, but still a bit high
expectations for the most people i think - that is if i
judge based on my friends, although i was there already so i
know it's not imposible).

there are people who go with the flow and there are people
who make rigid goals that end up in the same place,
sometimes. If you don't really know what you want. Float
along and let things organically develop. You'll find what's
best for you.

if you don't set goals you don't get the benefit of feeling
like you've worked hard to accomplish something
everything seems a lot more random without goals

I'm at the part in my life where I'm about to embark upon
the pursuit of my goals and being as lazy as I possibly can
before I begin because once I do start, I vow not to stop.

im pretty inpatient so setting long term goals and being
commited to them is somewhat unrealistic. so short term, day
to day, goals are a lot better.

and i do set goals of trying to be less inpatient with my
goals. but im too inpatient to reach that goal. :/

It upsets me that I could try hard, waste time building up
to something, and have it taken all away by, like, Leukemia
or a big explosion. Or a scorpion, who knows? I just try to
be happy and content. This results are extreme laziness,
because I'm REALLY good at entertaining myself, lots of
interests. But of course it's phenomenally immature and
silly to quit school and stop working for half a year, like
I have.

I think I have too much faith in myself. I feel like I can
do whatever I need to do when it needs to be done. Less
competent people than me are plenty successful. I don't have
a plan now, let alone a plan on how to carry out that plan,
but I'll see what happens. I really hate to commit myself, I
already spent 2 years studying for... well, nothing of note.

"I'm REALLY good at entertaining myself"

don't mind that though, as i don't have some serious goals..
