Quarter life crisis? Goals setting?

Everyone are now busy working? one day after another, finally comes weekend, where we try to do things that we wan to do during weekdays and here comes monday blues again. The cycle goes on and on, and everyday it goes, we age. Such boredom becomes everyone's everyday life and when we think back when we are old, its simply summarized with one word. WORK. and so thats the end. For those who are conscious, we find our lifes gone and think back is this what i want? What am i doing? And that is what we term quarter life crisis and those who only feel it when they in the 40s, thats mid life crisis.

As we are lost while being tied up with "work", we no longer focus on what we want but try to fulfil what others wants, what your boss wants. So soon we found ourself like a zombie, a lifeless person who do not pursue anything and just led each day pass by.

The idea of this blog is " do you have a goal? what do you want to do? Are you constantly aware of it?" Many books tell you to set good goals using SMART. simple, meaningful, achievable, ... don remember already... but as we set goals, we forget what we set. And deviate from it. and soon we lost the meaning of breathing the air in this world. We lost what we want to achieve, we lost our dreams, and lost our life.

For me, its important to set goal but its equally important to fulfil the goal by enjoying the process. Many times, people complain about their job, long working hours etc. but when ask them why u work they reply, because the money is good. So you fulfil your goal but you dont enjoy your process.

And now, many say that i am a lazy guy, don look for a job, no goal in life, just teach swimming. But i would say, i have more time now, i still earn as much as others earn. And lastly i enjoy the process. and soon i will get my goal, though not as fast but still achievable.

So what do you want to achieve? do you enjoy the process?
