Do I have to have an ultimate goal?

Do I have to have an ultimate goal?

Some people have asked me what my goal in life is, or if publishing is my ultimate goal.

 I don’t really have a set or ultimate goal in life.  How can I have an ultimate goal today when I don’t know what tomorrow will bring? I chose to stay open and ready to change or at least adjust my path as the life journey expects. I feel that if I pay attention to my every choice and always do what keeps me centered on a foundation of happiness, I will be fine. Even though I might not know now where I will be in the end, I have faith that as long as I don’t go too far from what is right and good for me, I will end up in a good place.

My goal is to do something good with my life. So, I make small goals and I always make sure I fulfill those goals. I don’t want to have inflexible long-term goals that will only limit me. I want to stay flexible and open to all opportunities that come my way. I believe that I will learn a lot more by staying open and willing to change. 

I’m a firm believer that everything happens for a reason.  Sometimes I don’t know the reason and I enjoy trying to figure out that reason. I don’t like to force something to happen. What if it’s not the right thing for me? Maybe it was not supposed to happen. I do not want to interfere with the universe too much. If I had, I would not be here today.

I was a computer science major running a software company with my ex-husband in Michigan.  I never thought I’d be publishing a lifestyle magazine out of Malibu. Who knew I would be so happy doing what I am doing today. Could I be doing what I’m doing now if I had set a goal prematurely not knowing what life had in store for me?  I still don’t know for sure what I am going to do when I grow up, so why set an ultimate goal and have life change it on me anyway? So, I chose to stay flexible and happy in whatever I do. I am sure it is all good.  In the meantime I will keep sharing  All Good News through Malibu Chronicle.
