LEARN to EMBRACE the RANDOMNESS of Life!!!

Often I hear people admitting that they feel like they’re lacking direction. Unsure about themselves, they have a little or no idea about what they should do with their lives. As crazy as it sounds, they aren’t even sure about what they want, like there’s some mask or mystery that hides their own true wants and needs.

What everyone presume here is that having no goals or dreams is bad and we need to hunt for one ASAP, else our life is finished. Life does this to everyone, takes away dreams. Running after what you are supposed to do (make money, build a family, a successful career) tends to do this.

My experience tells me that the more you try to look for a dream/ passion, the more you will not find it. You probably have been telling yourself that having a dream and working to realize it is very important but that's not true always. The society tells you to do this, it’s probably not your inner voice. If you have to change your path, this approach too, needs to be changed.

The first question you should ask yourself, if you don't have any goals in life, is "Am I really Happy?" It might be hard to answer this question because many people prefer to deceive themselves in order to escape from the responsibility.Keep in mind that happiness is way different from satisfaction. While the latter is a state that people experience when they think their life is OK, the first is a state experienced when the person falls in love with his life. If you were not sure whether you are happy or not or if you discovered that you are not happy then certainly there are lots of goals that you must set and achieve in order to reach this state of happiness.

So what can we do about this? How can we shift from feeling like we don’t know what we want, to knowing? How can we go from being unsure of ourselves to having a real sense of meaning and purpose? How can we become our own source of inspiration??

 The answer lies in EXPERIMENTING and doing so FEARLESSLY. Simply tap into your desires, interests, chase the beautiful dreams and set inspiring goals that fulfill your deepest desires. But let’s not just set goals that we think we should set. Instead, let’s consider what is going to totally rock your world. What is going to make you feel amazing about yourself? Let’s start with the FEELING, and then get into DREAMING.

We often think that a “goal” has to be something big. Maybe you’ve got the impression that goal needs to be about money, or success that our society has defined.

Relax! A “goal” is simply something that you’d like to do or achieve. It could be buying a house or a car, yes, but it could also be something which might matter to no-one in the world except you – perhaps your goal is to learn to bake cakes as good as the ones your grandma used to make.Please remember IT IS NO BIG DEAL IF YOU DON’T HIT YOUR GOAL. EVER. All that matters is that you want something with all your heart.

It is the wanting, dreaming, striving, and chasing, that makes life worth living. Otherwise known as, THE JOURNEY.
