goal

A goal, an aim, a focus, a desire. Whatever you call them, they are they same, in essence. They provide light for us at the end of the dark tunnel. If we focus passionately enough, the glow from this light will not only become clearer, but also illuminate the tunnel more brightly. It will be our guide in our life journey.

A soul without a goal, all its life, is a wasted presence. Wondering and wandering without a focus, it will never reach anything, for it has nothing to reach. It will not get anything, for everything is nothing to it. It sees no purpose nor reason. It is alive, yet, it is better dead.

However, when the first goal is conceived in it's mind, it starts to live. It sees a purpose, an objective. It has a reach, a desire. Its path is now lighted, purposefully unraveling the steps for it to take to get to its goal. If it continues to stay focus, its path will be clearer and brighter. Wavering in concentration, it will start to stumble and slow down. Abandoning, it gets out of the path, put its goal out of reach. As it forgets, it starts reverting to being a mere presence.

A goal is never too big or never could be too small. Never limited to having only one at a time but limited only by the boundaries of the human mind. No time is ever too late, either. All of us should focus on at least one, at all time. Then, we will be alive. Truly alive.
