Life Goal?
At one point in my life, I thought that my goal in life is to reach a high level of education to satisfy myself and to make my parents proud. And at another point, I wanted what any normal girl would dream of, wearing a white dress and get married. But then I doubt myself. Is that what I really want in life? Graduating and getting married?! I am not sure what is my goal in life yet but what I am sure of is that whatever goal I am aiming or searching for is because I want to reach one and only one thing which is happiness

And Why?
I was talking to a person who is very dear to me that had awakened me to a very important thing which is being happy. He said that when he was young he was trying to achieve as what most people refer to as goals. His first goal was graduating from high school and the second was from the University. After he reached his first and second goal, he was trying to reach his third goal which is working and getting a good salary so he can achieve his fourth goal which is getting married. After being married, his goal was getting children and so on. He said that he may have lived a good life and was happy in some of its moments but he had never enjoyed it because every time he reaches one of his goals, he thinks of a new goal to run after without appreciating his success. I want to be happy and appreciate every moment of my life because life is short and I don’t want to regret any moment of it.
