The goals, desires, and aspirations I had in the past seem to hold little value today. Once achieved, I found myself searching for more. Their importance lasted only until the moment I reached them. This makes me wonder: things that feel essential to us now may lose their significance in the future. Our possessions, achievements, and capabilities are all temporary, fleeting.
Perhaps there’s wisdom in not obsessing over what we have now, or over future goals, as they often bring only temporary pleasure. That doesn’t mean goals have no place in our lives—pursuing them can shape us, give us direction, and help us grow. But we must recognise that their value may change over time, and they shouldn’t define us entirely.
After all, the only thing we truly possess is the breath we’re taking right now. As you read this line, countless others have exhaled their last and left everything behind.
Life isn’t just about achieving; it’s about living fully while we can. Goals can guide us, but they should never pull us away from the present. No one knows how much time they have, so why not stay grounded, embrace both the striving and the stillness, and live with courage, gratitude, and a sense of balance?
