My goal is to have no goals.
Goals limit my potential.

You think.
Your thoughts cause pain.
The pain makes you want to die.
I understand.
The goal is to not to think.
Let your thoughts come and go without becoming emotionally involved in them.
It takes training but it can be done.
For now, try to engage in activities that preclude thinking.
Take a break from those thoughts.
Be kind to yourself.

All my life I have chased goals that other people would convince me to do. I have achieved a lot of success, but none of that truly made me happy. Yet the goals that I truly want to reach and that would make me happy are goals that seemingly have no roads that lead towards them and are simply outside of my reach. The goals that I have reached only a few can, but the goals that I cannot reach are for most people the simplest thing in the world. Then they ask my why I am unhappy because I have reached more than they ever will, but they are wrong. Achievement doesn't make you happy, only being true to yourself does.

My goal in life is to be true to myself. I will no longer let others set my path.

Write a lot. Fix some problems. Fix my problems. Meet some people. Have some fun.

That really is great advice & so eloquently written.

My goal in life is to support my family and friends in any ways that I can & to hopefully make some positive changes in the world (I have a list. It is long.)
