Having Something To Live For
The truth is that if you do not have what to live for, you will most likely fall for anything. It is purpose that makes life worthwhile. Instead of just existing, your purpose and your commitment to pursuing after it will make you to truly live. Living a life that is void of purpose is like playing football in a field without a goalpost - no matter how you sweat and no matter the kind of energy you are able to expend, you will still not end up scoring any goal.
Living without purpose in life is like embarking on a journey without having a destination in mind. Even if you accelerate at a top speed, you will not arrive there because you do not have an idea of where you are going. It is worthy to note that if you do not know where you are going to, every place you arrive at will look like it and you may end up stranded. This is why you have to create a purpose for your life and this will give your life a meaning and give you the reasons to live.
If you do not create a reason that will make you to wake up, then sleeping will become inevitable. You should have a driving force that will give you the zeal and the oomph to purpose after success. Imagine a student going through years of studies without writing a single exam, he will not know if progress is being made or not. As a matter of fact, the exams contribute to what drives a student to put in their best towards excellence.
You need to create a dream - something big to make you stretch beyond your limit. If your dreams do not drive you or spur you to actions, then they may not be as big as they should be. To be able to pursue after a dream, you must first create a dream in the first place. When the dream is created, then you have to plan towards its execution. However, stopping at just dreaming or at just planning will not actualize the dream, there is a need for you to go a step further to put your dreams into work.
In the course of going after your dream, you may be met with challenges but that should also motivate you because the presence of challenges only signify that, at least, you are doing something right. In a football match, when the stakes become high (like the Champions' league finals), the opposition become tougher. In the same way, when it seems the challenges that come to you become heavier and tougher, just know that you are on the edge of your breakthrough.

If you keep your eyes on a bigger picture of tomorrow, you will not fall for the challenges of today. One of the reasons people give up is because they have not been able to see beyond the bend and they do not have the hope of something better better. However, when you keep your optimism in place, backed by determination, then your dream will be fulfilled.

Greetings @samminator entertaining reading that you share with us, no doubt having clear purposes in life allows us to face situations with a different perspective, always focused on our dreams and our ideals. Thanks for remembering how important it is to have a clear purpose in life.
That's right, we have to clearly define our true purpose of living. Thanks for the comment buddy
Greetings @samminator ❤️💕❤️
This is really one of the best motivational piece I have ever read and it's really worth it when you live for something because it makes your life more valuable and purposeful.

These days I was doing a workshop and they told us that we should have a daily goal, to ask ourselves... why did I wake up today? because sometimes we spend the day in routines without being able to have anything but the days passing by.
Excellent post, thanks for the motivational part.
This is an excellent comment. Exactly, we must always have a daily goal - something to motivate us to put in our best.
Thanks for coming around buddy
Hello @samminator. Once I was talking about why some people with money seemed to be victims of depression, and someone told me that if you think you have everything it is very easy to lose your purpose in life, we all need a constant struggle, a dream to achieve, that gave us a purpose to live.
This is eye-opening and insightful. We should have a dream and pursue after it, and it will give us a purpose of living.
Thanks buddy
Everyone should should have a goal in your life without goal it's like live dead. You will stick in the monotonous life.
Living with purpose will give you lire encouragement and positive vibes to achive your goal.
Obviously, living with a purpose is what gives meaning to life. Thanks for the coming around buddy
Hello buddy!
Sometimes those simple goals are the main reason for us to keep going, and sometimes it is all about the people in our life, we can't just give up on them or let them down, they will be our last push when life gets tough, just thinking about them and how they want us or actually need us in their lives make us go do whatever just to keep them satisfied that's really something that is worthy to live for in my opinion.
Nice read, thanks for sharing!
Nicely said. Our dreams are what give our lives meaning and keep us going.
Thanks a lot for the comment buddy.
hello @samminator,
Most people do not have a goal to live for because they are simply trying to survive another day, and in trying to survive life goes by little by little, having a goal implies commitment also implies risks, many people prefer the comfort and tranquility of the known to the instability of the unknown. Having a goal and a purpose improves life, but not everyone is willing to pay the price for that better life.

Hello @samminator
Very good example of the soccer field, that's right, I like that analogy, the point is that too many people walk like that in life, without an end, without anything to look for, and for that reason they feel frustrated, but, without goals, there is nothing, at least not for me.
Excellent reading
Hello friend, I love your reflections, the soccer field and not scoring any goals made me think a lot, not long ago I felt like that, without any direction, without a goal or a dream to pursue and so I was stagnant, unmotivated and even depressed, but that has changed and now I do have a focus and a path to follow. Thank you for your words. Greetings.
