Some religious gurus tell us to set up a goal for us in our life,
and follow a path that would lead us to realise the same;
On the other side, some philosophers would advise us not to worry about setting any goal, but just constantly grow by relentlessly striving to be a full-fledge life (Sadhguru).
***
The first path has a focus, and is relatively easier to do rather than the second;
The second is based on just go ahead, and live full life, and take things as they come up.
***
Accordingly to me, the individuals can choose any one path they feel comfortable with.
***
Seek your own goal and follow your own path.
***
You always will be successful, as long as you are hardworking, sincere, honest, and affectionate; like most mothers are.
