How my Goals suddenly change
Why people always makes this life like we are in a racing game, a racing marathon, I don't understand why Society already painted us the ideal life that we should have, the ideal of successful life,
Like we should have this when we are in this age, we need to get a job,
When we are in this age, we need to have wife/ husband,
When we are at this age we need, to have our own family,
When we are at this age we need to get that house,
When we are at this age we must get that and get those, and a never ending saga,
And if we don't achieved all of this then society will degrade us, will look us just a useless human being and will judge us,
So what it is to live a successful life, everyone has a different definition of being successful, but for me I can't really define what is really my own dictionary of being successful, I used to write my goals back then but growing up now, I thought my goals are just written and forgotten by the time because now that I'm living in reality and facing adulting I can see the importance of priorities so my goals just change just like that
Change of Goals
Being excellent HAPPY in everything,
Instead of excelling just to satisfy others just to show off, I choose to be happy, my goal is to be happy because what's the used of being great but not happy at all, I mean I just want to say that being happy is my goal but it doesnt mean that I restrain my self to being great to excelled. I just want to prioritized my happiness than to being great, being happy is very common goal but it is hard when life has try to bring you down, so you of course need to be great, but it is for you to decide, it's your choice, or maybe you could do it both, but nahh haha living a simple life is my happiness so I'm okay with it, it's my choice after all.
Make my parents proud because of my success HAPPINESS
My parents always told me to work hard, but take a rest, prioritize my health, proiritze myself, not everything can be learn in school, and just by hearing them saying those words makes me change my goal to making them happy in my success but to make them happy because of my happiness, because of how they can see their daughter how they raised properly and became this person. I want to show them that I'm so happy being raised by them, my mom said to me success is nothing without happiness. I always look up on them because they doesn't put too much pressure on me, the importance is I'm living my life happy but of course as my part of being their daughter I should be responsible even they didn't expect a lot for me, I should not just let them down.
Find a good looking partner A PERSON WHO WILL STAYS WITH ME THROUGH THICK AND THIN
Back then I always want to have a partner that is very good looking, attractive, and so on, but of course that is just on my imagination, I need to be practical today, I should not be thinking on that but if ever there's someone who will makes me feel things then I will try, but nah for now I'm okay to have my bestfriend, my partner in crime and on everything and that's enough, having someone is not always need to be your lover, sometimes we found it to our friends.
Work on job that pays high THAT I'M PASSIONATE ABOUT.
Of course I admit that I want to work at jobs that will pay me high, but I realized what's the point of a job if I'm not happy and passionate about it, I want a work where I am so passionate about, I never want to imagine myself doing things that I don't like.
To live a successful FULFILLING life
I want to live without regrets, I want to live my life fulfilled everything I need to, success is not just the only thing I want, I still want to live and have a life where I can enjoy and fulfill my happiness, and if that happens I could finally say that I live an amazing one, I want to leave with good memories.
Authors note:
Now this is me being a visionary again haha kidding but I wanted you all to remember that how you live your life is depend on your choice, don't let society put too much expectations on you, we humans, have different goals and dreams, but we should always crave for the life that is fulfilling and satisfying, live your life the way you wanted to, and don't forget to prioritize your happiness, because it always matter and it always what everyone deserves.
I just want to flex my amazing sponsors, it must be nice if you kindly check them😊
