How are you supposed to find goals in life if you dont have any?

That's what she said.

Grow a beard and read this: http://www.amazon.com/Alchemist-Paulo-Coelho/dp/0061122416

Actually have read that, quite a few years ago. Is it worth reading again when i possibly could understand it better? Anyway the question was, since youre obviously a creative and goal-oriented person; if i`ve been avoiding taking hard choices and setting goals and just letting everything slide by, how to change that? (if possible at all lol)

your goals are not strong enough if you let things slide by.

You need to understand your values in life, what you want to get out of life and how you want to get there. Thats one part.
On the other hand do you need to be in peace with the moment, all there ever is and ever will be.

hey,
where is episode 1?

Pretty sure thats why i never had any goals, im not really sure what i wanted to do or what i wanted to get out of life, so naturally i dont know how to get there.
Pretty sure that last paragraph is way out of my league:/

I think it might be worth reading. Lots of people seem to get a lot out of it at different points in their life.

As far as approach... I would start by spending time thinking about what might be be a fun and interesting way to spend my time in the future. 1 year, 3 years, 5 years, 10 years, etc. Whatever you can think of, whatever you enjoy doing now, whatever careers other people have that seem interesting to you. From there I would try to imagine what those paths involve actually doing -- both to get there and when you get there. Think in terms of verbs. See if anything sticks. Writing a blog or journal might help.

Another approach that could be fun is to read people's Wikipedia pages. Think about how you want yours to read. Or think about what you value. How do you want the people close to you to remember you?

There are lots of methodologies. I think it all starts with thinking more deeply and seriously about these things on a consistent basis. If you never think about them you'll just keep never thinking about them.

thx a lot for answering my question pretty funny I did video reviews on my own in the past, but for whatever reason stopped doing them. I'll re-do that!

Thanks for the excellent and thoughtful answer, Jay. Nice surprise to come home to after vacation!

So Krantz, when are you going to blog more?!
