** The Importance of Pursuing Your Goals
------------------------------------------------------------

Hello,

We know enough about psychology now to understand that almost all of the positive emotions that you will experience in your life will be in relation to a goal. Positive emotion is analgesic. It actually quells pain, so it's not just positive. It also gets rid of negative ones, which is a big plus.

Therefore if you want to feel positive emotions, then you need a goal. Then you might think, if I want to maximize that positive emotion which is enthusiasm, then you need the best possible goal. Also, what pulls you out into the world and makes you feel good? It's going to engage the largest segments of your being. For example, if your goal's too narrow, then a bunch of you isn't going to be on board for it.

If the goal is well-developed and multifaceted, then all of you can partake in that. Even your negative elements, including your anger and fear, can get on board with that.

Therefore if you want to feel positive emotions, then you need a goal. Then you might think, “if I want to maximize that positive emotion which is enthusiasm, then I need the best possible goal.”

Let's say you need a goal that's worthy, then you have to think of a goal that justifies the tragedy and malevolence of life that seems to be the bottom line. Now maybe you think, there's no goal that can do that. There are still better and worse goals. I'm not convinced that there are no goals that can do that.

I think that’s an open question you would never know until you pursued the proper goal long enough to find out who you would be as a consequence of pursuing it. That's also your destiny or your existential voyage. It's also not something that anyone else can do for you. Someone can say get your act together, for Christ's sake and get at it. That'll make the world unfold best for you, but there's no way you can know that without doing it, and unless you think you've done a particularly stellar job of that, then you have no reason to doubt its potential validity.

Don't allow yourself to become aimless and leave your future up to chance.
