I want to share a song that I listened in my childhood that really opened my eyes regarding goals in life.
It's a song from Winnie-the-Pooh:
Pooh went over the treetops, Pooh went over the treetops, Pooh went over the treetops, To see what he could see.
But all that he could see, But all that he could see,
Was the other side of the treetops, The other side of the treetops, The other side of the treetops, Was all that he could see.
This really hit home when I heard it again when I was older.
So many times in life we have goals and we strive to achieve them, and once we achieve them it feels amazing. Then time passes and we forget about it and find a new goal and strive to achieve that one, and the cycle continues.
I believe that although having terminating goals can be helpful, consuming our lives constantly reaching for new goals and for success will only leave us at the end of our life with a lot of achieved goals and not so much meaning.
That's why I think that we should all find life goals that we can pursue day in and day out. Something that will be relevant in every moment of our lives, something that wont just end until we have lived out our whole life.
This way we will be constantly driven in our lives and motivated to do our best in whatever we do, and not do it all in order to achieve something or to feel success, but instead to add meaning to our lives and to the lives of others.
