Someone once told me that the greatest tragedy of life is not to have goals to achieve.
I silently smiled and walked away from that place.
Over the last few years the one thing I have come to know is that The greatest tragedy of life is becoming a slave to your goals.
Clearing your 10th or 12th with 90% marks
Getting seat into a reputed College
Getting a good Job
Building a career
Marrying a perfect person
Having Kids
Buying your own car, house
Becoming VP or CEO of a company...
Retiring at 60
Having enough money to enjoy life after retirement.
Dying with grace, with your kids and grand-kids standing next to you.
Anyone who deviates from these Goals is seen as "abnormal".
Its a "delusion" fixed in your mind since childhood... THAT THIS IS THE ONLY WAY OF LIVING...
Unfortunately trying to achieve this, gives rise to many of the mental health issues that plague individuals for years.
1.Clinical depression - not able to achieve anyone of the goals creates anger against self and depression.. many people even commit suicide on the same
2. anxiety - constant comparison with others creates an inferiority complex and tends to decrease self-worth.
Constantly preoccupied with "perfection" and achieving the "goals of life" one is always worried.. worry leads to stress and stress becomes addictive as anxiety.
3. Anger - Anyone who works against this scheme of plans is considered bad... anyone known who goes against this plan is immediately made a target of anger.
4. always striving for peace
HAVING GOALS IS NOT BAD.. BECOMING A SLAVE OF THEM IS BAD... LEARN TO BE FREE... EVERY MISTAKE IS A LEARNING OPTION.. EVERY SUCCESS A SIGN OF YOUR CAPABILITIES...
