Guiding stars
Just imagine! You are working hardly on some project. You forget yourself doing your best to achieve the goal.
The outcome should be so great you are ready to sacrifice 20 hours a day seven days a week. You are going closer and closer to your obsession. Finally the day has come. You got it. You are winner. You are celebrating victory with your friends. Being happy for a day or two you set another goal even more brilliant and ambitious. And that happens again... and again... and again...
Many years later you suddenly discover that life has passed but you was happy only few dozens of times. All the rest time you were working to become happy when your work is done. But when one work has been done you succeeded in finding new work and so on.
The only exit I have found from that never ending labyrinth is to realize that the Life is not a result. It's a process!
We can have goals but we should live not only after our dreams are realized but also on our way to them. The goals are just our guiding stars.
