Enjoy the journey

I think we try too much to make sense out of this thing called life. The gurus tell us we need to have goals, but have you ever noticed that when you have a good dream, awake or asleep, it just goes on and on with no end, until you wake up or stop yourself of course? One is born and sooner or later you will die. So can we say that is the goal of life, maybe, but thinking of it like that is bound to put you in the ground quicker than a punch from Mike Tyson. So here is what I think we can try. How about we have goals like they always tell us, but this time let us make the process to achieving those goals a bit more exciting than usual. Think about it, most people that have a 9 to 5 jobs spend about 29 days thinking about payday which is just 1 day in a month and that means you will, on average, be happy 12 times a year. 12 times out of 365 days, now that is not right. I'm no psychologist, but that is bound to cause some mental and emotional problems. So to try and avoid such problems, how about we approach life the same way you would approach organising a party at your house. Think about it, how many people really dread organising organising a party with friends? So you might ask, how do I take this and apply it to my life Mr Writer? Start by thinking about the things that you really want in life and I do mean really want because most people say more money. Sure money will buy you that nice car, big house, dream vacation, etc, but what I want you to think about here is what will those things that money buys bring you? After you decide on what you really want then decide how you intend to get this thing or things that you want. This is the point where you decide on which steps to take to achieve this goal and on top of this you also decide on which of these steps will be the most enjoyable because I'm sure that if your aim was to go see the pyramids of Egypt, walking there from your current position wouldn't be much fun, would it? Before you start this little exercise please bear in mind that you will meet up with some resistance from friends, family and even strangers because they might not understand what is in you and this is not meant to scare you, but to prepare you much like you would take an umbrella when the weather lady says it might rain. I don't know if you noticed that this post has a lot of question marks and that is because only you can answer the questions. So from now on please try and make the process as enjoyable as possible. Who knows, that might even speed up up the goal achieving problems. They say time flys when you're having fun.
