Goals and such

[none_neither]

I was explaining to a co-worker that I didn't feel as though I had goals, she was working and finishing her degree.
She thought it was ridiculous (that I wanted goals). Next year, I'll turn 30. I've never cared much about age, I can remember clearly when I was going for my postgrad there was a Chinese girl from Canada. She refused to tell me her age

I never have any goals either. I just end up doing things.

Oh wait, that's not true, I have goals for my son. Does that count?

The thing is what she thought was ridiculous wasn't that I didn't have goals but for some reason she didn't think I should want them :/

lol no not really.

[thinking_lotus]

She felt you'd already achieved everything? Or she thought it was too late?

Does it count if my goal is to be the mom of a certain type of kid?

But honestly, I am terrible at having goals. Well, I did when I was younger, I think. I remember having the goal of graduating from high school and going to college ...

I guess she meant in comparison to her, (she didn't elaborate).

Does it count if my goal is to be the mom of a certain type of kid?
lol I'll allow that.

I am really REALLY good at making lists of things to do (let's not call them goals) and only finishing the first one >/

goals? If I can get up from my bed every morning is a fucking miracle >>

True, I do feel proud of myself of going to work every day this week, even when I felt like a zombie.

Who needs goals? As long as you do your best and are happy then why bother, goals just make it seem like what you have is insignificant in comparison (and that's just depressing).

But, what YamaP said was true, when you have goals and you work for it, esp after experiencing difficulty then you feel better. I just want to experience this. Just once. Maybe I'll become more motivated and ..invent something?
Cure cancer?

True, but then if you don't reach the goal it's just that much worse? Goals can be good or bad I guess, depending on how you choose to look at it. Either way wanting goals is a fairly normal thing, isn't it?

Lol, I would love to see what you would come up with to invent, it's sure to be interesting. =D

I have goals, but I never complete 70% of them lol

Goals are kinda like resolutions.
They're meant to be broken and incomplete, I guess.

Goals and resolutions are put in place to help us on a path, but they aren't necessary to reach an end destination. You could start a journey with an intended goal in mind that might lead you in a completely different direction.

At least, that's how I feel about the whole goal-making process.

Is it bad that I thought Shirota wasted a lot of time focusing on "acting" when his Tenimyu run ended? It was really clear that he and Kazuki were the best singers and that he should have pursued his singing career alongside his acting career. He has the talents and I always thought he should had long had a record deal prior till now.

Which also begs the question, I always wondered why Shirota never joined or wanted to join JE singing that Yamapi was with JE. Or was he ever courted by JE? Somebody needs to ask him these questions one day xD

But I want that feeling!
However, as fila recently reminded me of where I stand right now.
Before I just wanted to be employed and I'm lucky to be employed. The next step is finding what I want to make of my life before it's too late.
Somehow all the things I want are material.
This morning I was reading about Yoon Doo Jun's trip to Africa.
Where he said when he took pictures of the children and said it was the first time they saw their faces.
I am truly blessed but my life feels Sisyphean lol
I will start with small goals.

I don't think JE wanted him, I don't think he would have fit their image somehow.
