Is it really that important to have a clear goal and direction in life? The problem often lies in the way we define goals, be it in terms of money, a job, or a life partner. We do not realize that these our simply means to achieving an end state - happiness. The goal is dynamic as one moves from happiness to more happiness and so on. Therefore, even though we are happy, we might not be content. As long as people measure contentment in relative terms, there will always be discontentment. But one might also argue that contentment could lead to complacency, which is an enemy of progress and change. One should guard against that - not adapting will make you redundant.
I am just hustling along, wanting to find myself in the process. There are so many things to learn and so many experiences to soak in. Therefore, once again I ask: Is it really that important to have a clear goal and direction in life?
