Life is meaningful when you always look towards a goal

Life without a purpose is meaningless; every person should have a goal in their life that

they should be striving to get to. It’s been said that a life without a goal is like a race without a

finish line, you are running to nowhere. Having a goal is tremendously important; it provides a

way of life and makes every step towards the future interesting.

As we all know, life is more interesting and challenging when we have a purpose to strive

for. But, why does always looking towards a goal makes life meaningful? First of all, goals are the

roots of our motivation and inspiration in our daily activities. It fuels us with the energy to live,

gives us happiness and a concrete objective to focus on. Secondly, a life without a goal is simply

like shooting an arrow without a target, you’re aiming at nothing. Hence, setting goals are

necessary because it gives our life a sense of direction and satisfaction when we achieve them.

Lastly, it make our life fulfilling and worth cherishing. For example, think about the most exciting

or meaningful times in your life and you will most likely found that those were the times when

you were fighting for a worthwhile goal that was important to you

In short, looking toward a goal provides us happiness, target, fulfilment and a sense of

direction which gives meaning to life. With it, it is possible to make a significant progress and

achieve something big. In conclusion, life without a purpose is a life without a destination

because the greatest joy that we can have comes from striving towards a specific aim. Before I

end with my speech, remember, in life, a man with a goal will have a colourful future but a man

without ambition will be like a bird flying without a direction.
