Do we do what we do to achieve our goals ? Perhaps !!
I know that we may be planning for the long-term without forgetting to eat while you dream but if we were really goal oriented would we know when we have reached our goal.
Does knowing what we want play an important role in what we do?
Perhaps!
The following story may help clarify the perspective I am trying to communicate.
A rich industrialist found a fisherman lying lazily beside his boat, smoking a pipe….
“Why are you not fishing?” asked the industrialist.
“Because I have caught enough fish 4 the day” said the fisherman.
“Don’t you want to catch more?”
“What will I do with them”
“U could earn more money,” was the industrialist’s reply…
“With that u could have a motor fixed to your boat and you could go into deeper waters and catch more fish. The next step may be to make enough to buy nylon nets…this would bring u more fish that translates to more money…soon you could buy two boats…maybe even a fleet of boats. ..and you could be a rich man like me.
” What would I do then?”Asked the fisherman.
“Then you could really enjoy life”.
” What do you think I am doing right now?”
