"In life as in football, you won't go far, unless you know where the goalposts are..." - Arnold H. Glasgow In life you will be lost and doing things without a purpose if you do not have a goal, eventually you would have to make decisions that will get you to a goal. You cannot expect to move forward if you do not know why you need to move forward. Everyone has a different purpose or a goal where they would like to get to. You cannot make decisions if you do not know what you want to change about your life. For some people goals help them see more clearly which choices they will make. Others it might complicate it more. Nevertheless those people know what they want and decide for themselves how to live their live by givings themselves a purpose. It is very important to know what you want to be in life or what you want to change in the world. The great thing about knowing is that you will be inspired and motivated to do anything you want.
