After you accomplish all the goals you set out for yourself in life, how do you proceed with life without any goals?

    Yes. I agree with your point of view. For a successful man like me, it is difficult to waste my precious time. I do not want to sit idle, because I know idle man's mind will become a devil's workshop.

    You make it a goal to wake up tomorrow.

    Then enjoy life as its meant to be.

    Forget about goals and do what makes you happiest.

    Can you think of a specific example of someone who accomplished all their goals and couldn't think of any new goal and was somehow left hanging, unable to proceed with life? I don't think this situation actually happens. Even if a person in older age, after accomplishing goals like career and family, does not have great ambitions anymore, life has a way of living itself anyway. The life force moves us on, and we have the potential to learn new things (science calls it the "plasticity" of the brain) and discover new pleasures. Many older people are very content to live without some great goal that young people consider worthwhile. That's because our attitudes change with time, which cannot be imagined when you are younger. This is definitely not a problem to worry about.
