What are your ideals and goals?

This is the era of the Internet, it seems like anything can be found on the Internet.

A variety of inspirational articles, courses, and workshops tell you that you can do it as long as you have a good time management; as long as you are diligent and self-discipline. As long as you do so, you will be able to achieve your goals.

But there is a problem, after so many years, the same question has been wandering in my mind.

I've been looking for an answer for it, but there seems to be no answer, no one can give me a satisfactory explanation.

I always had such a question when I was a child, why it seems that everyone knows what they want to do after growing up?

A plausible, be a scientist, be a teacher, be a doctor, be a lawyer ...

And only me, not knowing what I want to do. At first, it was just a doubt, and then there was a sense of shame. It is as if we are all on the mission, but God forgot about me … that’s what I think.

So the furthest distance in the world is not from the North Pole to Antarctica, but you don't know where you want to go.

Don't know where to go, how to get there?

This seems to be a question that has no solution.

Whenever we seem to find a bit of our own enthusiasm, there will be a variety of small voices in the mind worrying, everyone regardless of conscious or unconscious, there will be a small voice in this worry mode.

"Are you sure this is your goal?" What if we find out in a few years that it is wrong?”

"What if everyone else thinks you're a joke?"

"How likely this will succeed?"

"Are you sure your parents and friends will support you in this goal?"

Everyone will have all kinds of worry voices.

More and more people choose to take the safest route, able to see the route clearly, the route that most people supported.

Then found that they are not happy, and then found that their source of unhappiness is they don’t have a goal and also don't know how to pursue their goal.

I know a friend who is an international kindergarten teacher, but she thinks she likes being a host, she thinks it is her dream.

But she did not know how to achieve this goal. If she sends her resume directly to the radio, the chance of being hired is almost zero.

So she signed up for the radio-hosting amateur training courses, learned a simple course, and began to study about the Internet radio.

She is now an excellent part-time Internet radio channel host, teaching others about the knowledge of early childhood education.

I have a very serious misunderstanding, I have always thought that when your dream or life mission appears in your life, it must be vigorous, different, and easy to recognize!

These two days, I read a book "She Means Business", in an obscure small section, I suddenly have a clairvoyant understanding of this problem.

This day may never come, nor will there be a prophet of the oracle who falls from the sky to tell you what your life mission is, and perhaps no one will come to save you.

Maybe this time people will be a little discouraged, even Einstein said that in the consciousness of the problem is unable to find the answer to the question.

Now it is said that there will be no expert guidance.

Is the question about the dream a dead loop? Of course not!

We may not know what our ultimate goal is, but it is not difficult for us to have such a concept.

What kind of little interest do I have, even if I can't quickly change a career now?

What kind of enthusiasm do I have? Even a little bit is enough.

What kind of people do I admire?

What qualities of this person have attracted me?

What kind of life do I want to live?

What are the specific aspects of this life that I want to have the most?

Through similar thinking, although we might not have a clear dream, but at least we found a little enthusiasm. Although we can’t determine what kind of person we want to be, but at least we know what the characteristics of these people that we can have.

Knowing this, we're going to start doing something. What do we do? Anything.

No matter how insignificant this thing is, don't think about what others will think of you.

Do anything that you feel is close to your ideal, whether it's getting up early, starting to learn to draw, starting to go to the gym, or starting to meet more friends.

As long as you think it is something you really like or can help you to have the qualities you want to have, you can do it, regardless of whether it starts as childish as a baby toddler.

There is a metaphor here appropriate to this question, a car parked in a carpark is unable to adjust the direction. When you don’t know the direction, the best practice is to start the engine first.

Start moving, feel the sentiment of the scenery while driving, adjust your direction accordingly.

Slowly you will find the track will become clearer, the road will become clearer.

Many people do not want to start because they don’t know where to go, don't know how to achieve it. It is typical thinking too much and does too little.

But the truth is, if you are not on the road, you will never know where to go, where you can go, how you can achieve it.

Only by keeping the curiosity, patience to attempt, your ideal will gradually appear, this won’t give you a fleeting moment, but it is not impossible to reach the other shore.
