Rob...here's where I've always struggled with setting goals for everything. The last quote sort of contradicts your recommendation. With a goal-oriented life, you're always working toward, or striving for some achievement. In my mind, that detracts from the mantra..."live for today, life is short". Always striving to achieve the goal is sort of like striving to get to a point where you can relax and enjoy.
I didn't always feel that way. Pushing 50 now...after having met and missed many goals over the last 30 years. Fortunately, I've met the important ones (great marriage, kids, home-life and always made a decent buck)...but simply picked the wrong goals in terms of career and professional fulfillment (see avatar). Made many of those goals and wound up in a place that's not what I expected. Would do the career thing over if given the chance.
Setting and achieving goals is one thing....most of us can do that. Setting and achieving the "right" goals is a much more difficult process. If you're young and embarking on lifes greatest decisions...be aware of that. An honest soul search is required!
