I have this funny habit of thinking about the most abstract things in the midst of my daily routine. Now these thoughts are not limited to my idle time, but enter my mind (and that too at dashing speed) just about anytime and anywhere. And the reason they are problematic is that they refuse to leave me until and unless I have given them justified time and thought.
I was comfortably sitting in my cubicle at office answering a new mail which had just popped up in my inbox. When, suddenly this strange thought came to my mind and I was doing a critical analysis of goals and their importance. People often talk about the goals of their lives. Everyone has goals - both short term and long term. Now, the dilemma is that is it good to have goals or not. Goals give our actions a direction which is highly important, but at the same time limit our actions only in that direction.
Well, its finally a personal choice for everyone. Let me tell you all, how is it for me? I always have goals in my mind - but they are neither short term nor long term. They are just plain simple goals. Now, a question that comes to my mind is that why are these goals so important for me. Well, the only reason existent for me is that goals give me a sense of accomplishment when I achieve them and I am able to happily bask in the achievement's glory for some time. I love those sweet moments - the feeling of accomplishment is the greatest HIGH for me. :)
But just like any other high, even this is a temporary one. The hangover quickly dies. This is the time, when I feel the urge of a new accomplishment and thus the birth of another goal in my mind. So, its a vicious cycle. Goal leads to accomplishment and accomlishment leads to newer goals.
