goals

I approached my friend as he stared into space, a streak of sadness in his eyes. It didn't seem right. Like so many of my peers, he had just recently started a new job. I found myself asking him why he was not excited about something he had longed for? Why such gloominess?

He had been pondering over his decisions & I got the feeling that he might have just begun to give up on himself. He has great ideas floating in his mind but at times he lacks action. He said, "If I don't know what I want, then I'll never get it". He might have hit the nail on it's head. I found myself repeating his thoughts. You have to want something in order to accomplish it. For without goals, you are a wandering soul...no challenge, no joy, no destination.

I consoled him. Reassured him that he just needs some time to figure things out, for you cannot rush things. To explore himself & his surroundings. He needs to start paying attention to himself. So my friend, don't lose yourself in your day-to-day chores. Make time for yourself & do one little thing every day that brings you joy. In the process you will rediscover your identity & be at peace with yourself.
