Question: Do you ever wish you didn't have so many goals in life!?
Sometimes you wish you were like people who all they care about is just hanging out with each other and having a good time!?

But, unfortunately, I couldn't live with myself if I didn't have something to do, somewhere to go, something to learn!. Just, sometimes, it's exhausting to try to fulfill all the goals you've set and a little dissapointing when things you've worked for don't work out how you had planned!.

Ever wish you could just be "care-free!?"Www@QuestionHome@Com

YES well sort of!.!.!.!. i love helping others and so i try to do it all the time but when i can't help it devastates me and so i want to forget about it but i can't!. And also in so doing this my stress levels are greatly increased and i want to stop caring so much but i can't force myself to because i'd feel bad if i tried to be carefree!. I'm only 17 and i'm having this problem!. I still have a great social life but i try to help people all the time so i'm sorry if i'm not much help!.!.!. i'd just continue trying to help others or setting goals!. without them your life would be boringWww@QuestionHome@Com

We have to establish priorities regarding our goals!. The problem is
not with having many goals in life but with not organising them according to priorities!.

About being "care-free" no, I have never wished to be so!. It must be terribly boring!. A "care-free" life would fill the world up with schizophrenic unhappy people!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I am sandwiched in between son and a elderly parent who cannot make any decisions for herself, and never learned to drive
both need help at times( Mom getting to be more so than son)
and I am worried about my own career and retirement

so yeah, I wish I were younger and had a carefree life againWww@QuestionHome@Com

i don't have a lot of goals but i am not aimless!. i go with the flow as long as it gets me where i'm going!. being care-free is to be ignorant of just about everything!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

yup!.!.it's also good to be care-free, no worries about life!.!.but it would be more colorful if you yourself will set up goals that will improve you as time passes by!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

As long as being happy and having fun are high priority goals on that list, I am okay with many goals!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
