Morals Posted June 30, 2010 Posted June 30, 2010 I'm sure you all have heard this before. "Life is about the journey, not the destination." I frequently find myself touting this mantra to others when I see them focus too much on something in the future. Yet I find myself giving out great advice, but not believing in it...not following it. I try the best to enjoy each day, and plan ahead a little, but not at the expense of the present. But I can't help shake the feeling that I'm still shooting for a goal instead of just enjoying life. Anyone have any ideas on how to break free from my mindset and just to enjoy life, but still be responsible?
jean-luc sisko Posted July 2, 2010 Posted July 2, 2010 I disagree with that saying. I think having goals is normal as human beings. However, there must be a balance struck between the goal and the present. A human being without goals is no human at all. And I don't mean that in a facetious sense. We aim to get to work at a specific time each day, this is a goal. We aim to watch a sports match on TV at a specific time, this is a goal. Goals are also key for mental/emotional wellbeing.
Author Morals Posted July 2, 2010 Author Posted July 2, 2010 Sure, we all have goals. I guess my statement is more in line with relationships. People say "Enjoy the journey, don't focus on rushing into a relationship"....yet I hear the translated part of this statement as "Enjoy being non-committal, don't worry about the fact you aren't in a relationship and enjoy being single". I don't know, I just feel unsure of how to progress in terms of viewing relationships with a "light heart"
