A Goals' Soul

“If you never attained your Goals in Life, it’s either, you haven’t done everything to attain it, or the goal is not really attainable.” - Rudyard Kipling


As New Year comes, definition of the word goals, plans, resolutions, dreams, ambitions, came up on everybody’s mind like fireworks on display. Everyone has their own favorite phrases, to define what is said to be the ”bulls-eye” of success. I will fall short to say that it is indispensable for success. Yet, it will be a dishonor for the word if I threw it out to the garbage. I just want to make a statement neither to deny the benefit of the word, nor to praise its meaning. A lukewarm comment isn’t it? It is not to cause a predicament on its thought, but rather to stress something on my personal point of view.

Rudyard Kipling precisely gives the essence of what is goal is all about. It is undisputedly true that a goals pre-existence makes it worth its existence. Let me explain it a little more. I believe that goals were made because of something you want to achieve or attain. Without that “something”, your goals are worthless. Now, to achieve that “something”, you must do all you can in order for it to materialize. If you haven’t attained your goal, it means you haven’t done everything to make a “goal” worth. Or maybe, it is worthless to say that it’s a “goal”, coz it is unattainable, right? A cherry on a dart board were never been there, if it is impossible to hit. Likewise, you should never make a goal, if it’s impossible to attain. Or should I say, if you’re not willing to attain. Whatever, just a thought.

- Carpe Diem
