No aim in life? I have been through this feeling. later I understood that I do have aims but afraid to talk about it as it felt too farfetched for a simple being like me. Had one with whom I could share my ideas, someone who will encourage me in my venture. So I began saying to myself I have no aims.

Eventually, i thought to myself why I am waiting for someone to tell me : 'Yes, u can do it'.  You should first take you own first step towards your dream, then you will see many who will follow. You will begin have your aims clear in your mind and noone will be able to remove them. Have faith in yourself.

Besides aims there must be things you like doing.It can be anything:music,gardening, cooking, partying or even house chores. maybe you should relax for time being.Take advantage of this present aimless life to treat yourself with good things of what life can provide you. The aims will come when the time is right.

Just tell them you aim at enjoying life for as large a part of it as you can and that at the moment things are going pretty damn good.

Longing to succeed can be a sign of a need to prove oneself to oneself (through others) and if you don't have that drive then it may simply be because you are actually quite comfortable with yourself and your abilities.

The West is generally quite unloving which to me is a good reason why it is so materially successful or outright overpowering.

The reason I initially responded as I did was because I read your message as if you felt there was something wrong with you not having goals.

Charlesman, you got the point right.

it was not that i was trying to fix a goal in life. i just wanted to know if there is any problem with no goal in life. since sincere well-wishers keep making me aware of this, and i do not have apt words to justify my point of view on aim or goal. the way they interpret my ways make me feel that i'm copying some character from an adventure novel or fantasy movie. there i start feeling that caring for nothing but the immediate concerns may be a problem for me that i cannot understand.

CM,

When you are ready, you will be able to see your path clearly. For now, it is not a bad thing to simply float from one shore to another. You will find stability from within and the correct path when it comes forward. I believe you do have a spiritual aim in life, you just have not found it yet, thus the floating from shore to shore. Everyone is different and are here for many different reasons. You are young yet, give yourself a break and relax, your shore, the one you will find your correct path on may be the next place life takes you. Don't stress over this, but enjoy the ride. Everything is a spiritual lesson in some way, shape or form. Learn from where you land and allow your boat to take you where you need to be. I'm seeing you are just about there. You being aware of the floating from shore to shore is indicative of that.

With Love And Gentle Hugs,

Jewel
