One of the worst things you can do is waste your existence.
Life is one of the most amazing things in the universe and you’re incredibly lucky to be here right now. So, take advantage of it!
However, if you don’t have goals, you’ll default to focusing on things that don’t matter. You’ll depress yourself with negative thinking or engage in drama with others.
Whether you want to learn a new skill, improve your personality, or strengthen relationships, your goals will determine if it happens. When you don’t have them, you’ll spend time watching those who do, while your life slips away.
