If all is vanity, if there is no new thing under the sun,
if there is no joy to be found anyway,
Why bother? why try?
If life is a treadmill, if we work 8 hours a day so that we can
afford a house to sleep in, so that we can sleep 8 hours to be
rested for another day's work, why get excited about it?
ALL these intellectual "reasons" vanish, however, and we experience
joy and satisfaction, when once we get off the treadmill , stop
going around in circles and select a goal worth striving for.
[b]Life is worthwhile only when u have firmly fixed in your sights
worthwhile goals.
Emptiness is a symptom that u r not living creatively. You either
have no goal that is important enough to you, or you are not using
your talents and efforts in striving toward an important
goal.
The person who has no purpose of his own pessimistically concludes,
" LIFE has no purpose." The person who has no goal worth striving
for concludes, "Life is not worthwhile." The person with no
important job to do complains, " there is nothing to do."
Even the most elderly can operate as goal-striving, sanguine
people.
Set your goals and go for it!
