Once Einstein traveled by train. At some point, the controller approached. Unthinkable, Einstein begins to look for his ticket. For a moment, unable to find him, he became more nervous. The controller acknowledged him and, in a trusting voice, said,
-Mr. Einstein, no need. I recognized you. I know who you are and I realize that a man like you does not dare to run without a ticket.
Einstein did not even hear it, he continued, even more nervous, to find out all his pockets, the bag, the clothes, the chair.
-Mr. Einstein, stay calm, you really do not have to. I'm sure the ticket is somewhere. You do not need to present it, insist the controller.
-Mr. Controller, you do not need it, but I need you to forget where I have to go down," replied Einstein.
A study shows that only 20% of people know the purpose of life, respectively. And out of these 20%, a good part defines the purpose of their lives from desires that they could meet until the end of the week. Of those surveyed, 7% do not know if they have any specific purpose and Nothing will NOT know (probably guided by the idea that ignorance means happiness).
The outlook is pessimistic. Where, for whom, with whom, why, how?
Living without purpose is like going shopping without wanting anything, starving your lust in the picture: see a product and buy it without needing it, see another - buy it (maybe because of the colorful packaging) Then another you buy it. You get your purchases, you come home, you quickly get rid of the first product out of the bag, you get saturated and forget about the rest of the products. Soon they change, start to smell ugly and realize that you should not have bought them, but you do not recoup the money.
While a goal-driven life means buying items for the food you want to do in the quantities you need for the people invited to the table.
Usually, because of the system and the circumstances, people do not get tired of setting priorities, goals and even feel uncomfortable for the dreams they have, do not dare to share with others, not to mention their realization.
The philosophy of life is a simple one - the bigger the goal, the more complicated it is to miss it. Small goals are the most difficult to achieve, and they are usually parasitic.
If you have a purpose in life and you know what this is, you have to thank, few are like you. If this goal is too big, thank you more - the probability that you miss it is inversely proportional.
