When Life’s Major Goals Are Complete

Life seems most worth living when one has important goals to accomplish.  However, when all those goals are accomplished, what further purpose is one’s life?

Important life goals include:

1.  Getting an education; graduation

2.  Achievement of expertise or professional designation, MD, Attorney, CPA.

3.  Establishment of a career or occupation

4.  Finding a true love, marriage

5.  Buying a home

6.  Having children

7. Retirement

8. Travel

And other specific items for one’s “bucket list.”

Striving for goals makes life worth living.  With no goals a person becomes an object with no purpose.  If you no longer have a purpose, is life worth living? 

Maybe.  If you have a good stash of cigars and a dog, then it might be worthwhile to stick around for a little longer.
