Shoot into a Basket (hoop) or Dribble aimlessly


We learn about goals early in life, but somehow forget about them along the way. Regardless of your age, everyone played games as a child. Majority of our games involved a target or goal. If you played basketball like I did, the point of the game is to shoot the ball into the basket (hoop). Success was the getting the ball in the basket. Though dribbling and passing the ball was part of the game; the end result was to get the ball through the hoop.
Life without goals is like playing basketball without a basket. Life activities will give you some pleasure, but sustaining them for any length of time is difficult.
Setting and meeting goals creates positive energy and motivates you to keep going, even when obstacles arise.
I hope you will not "dribble" through life, I hope you will dribble with a goal in mind.
Sometimes it helps to talk somethings out; find someone who cares to listen to you and vent out your desires and see if they are realistic.
All the best.
