Set your goals aside

I have, for one reason or another, moved back to posting inspiring and current songs on Facebook. I don't think this is a good development, because posts over there are easily forgotten and even more easily missed or ignored. I'll try to do something about this...

During an English course that is bound to finish tomorrow (today, actually. I guess I should head to bed soon) we have discussed goal-setting and how people set goals. There was a lot of talk about the difference between short-term and long-term goals. Some also compared goals to dreams. I'm not sure if I've mentioned it before, but I haven't been able to distinguish any clear-cut personal dreams for a long time. I can't remember if I had any in the past. Without dreams, it is quite hard to set any long-term goals. For now, I have no other option than to live in the present and set these goals aside. I don't find my existence meaningless, though. After all, life is a journey and as Geddy Lee sings, "the point of a journey is not to arrive".
