The Art of Having No Goals

Sometimes, making goals can become a tedious task. Of course, it's always ideal to set a goal, work on it, and accomplish it. But, there are times when this isn't always the scenario. There are times when you set a goal, work on it, and fail to accomplish it. There's even the last scenario where you set a goal, and don't even get as far as working on it before you forget about it.


The other day, I ran across a great email about the art of making no goals. There are just moments in your life when you need a break.
So, what does having no goals look like? Do you just lay around all day, be lazy, and eat whatever you want? I think that the author of the post wrote it the best :


"No, you simply do. You find something you're passionate about, and do it. Just because you don't have goals doesn't mean you do nothing – you can create, you can produce, you can follow your passion.  And in practice, this is a wonderful thing: you wake up and do what you're passionate about."


For me, here's what I ended up with:

Family Time

Having no goals and focusing on my passion allows me to focus on what's important. I enjoy life because I'm always doing something I'm excited about. But whether I achieve or not isn't the point at all: all that matters is that I'm doing what I love, always.
I end up in places that are wonderful, surprising, great. I just didn't know I would get there when I started!

Today, find out what you are passionate about and just DO!
