Set Smart Goals — Sail Your Ship To The End
Ditching the goals is like saying you will ditch your destination out on the open sea.
Of course you can do it, but eventually you will run out of water and supplies, by which time you will still be in the open sea, too far from any harbor to rescue yourself.
All you need to do for now is to go for the first best harbor so you can rest!
You are putting so much pressure on finding the right harbor right away.
Remember always that true goals are long-term, and that you cannot change what you want.
If you want to find the island of the fountain of youth, then that is your ultimate goal.
The fountain of half-youth, or the one of slower aging, will not make you happy.
But they can be temporary harbors.
When you are setting goals remember that you should always strive for what you truly want regardless of how far out of your way it is, how impossible it may seem, or how long you may have to work for it.
You cannot change what you want. You always want what you want.
Do not deny your own, inner self and go for it.
But as you do that remember that you do not need to get there right away.
