If you search on a search engine for “no goals” or “life without goals” you get some sites that emphasize the importance of setting and achieving goals, but there are some other voices who say that setting goals is often an issue for them, so they try to live without goals.
Some of the problems they indicate are that goals often end up being achieved differently or on a different schedule, so it seems pointless to set goals, or they can get things done without making it in to a “goal”.
I was curious if you’ve seen this philosophy and experimented with it: what are your opinions on “living without goals”?
Seems like once you reach your outward goals, the new goal becomes maintenance. You get up in the morning and do what you need to because you’re happy with your life and if you don’t wake up and do that then your garden will go fallow and your chickens will die.
Until my son was born, I was in a moment like that where I didn’t need more, just to keep on track with what I was already doing.
