I use to think I was really cool by proudly not having goals. I was young, so-called 'bad-ass' and an individual that no one was ever going to own or make me do goals. Life was too short to live it trying to fulfill goals and I wanted to live life by the seat of my pants not knowing what was going to happen the next day. Fast forward to a few centuries later in my life and I kick myself for ... VIEW POST
