Why You Still Need Goals (Even If You Pretend You Don’t)
When people say they don’t care about goals, they’re lying.
There’s always something to care about — something that gets you out of bed, something that gives your life rhythm and reason.
You don’t have to chase yachts, private jets, penthouses, or watches. That might not be your thing. But if it is somebody’s thing? Let them have that. If that’s what gets them moving, focused, disciplined — let them have it.
Don’t mock what motivates other people.
Don’t shame someone for what lights their fire.
Because the truth is, goals are the pulse of purpose.
When people stop caring about anything, life starts slipping out of focus.
Some people chase money and end up empty.
Others chase peace and feel full.
Some chase legacy. Some chase simplicity.
But everyone is chasing something.
Maybe your goal isn’t financial. Maybe it’s emotional, spiritual, relational.
Maybe it’s balance. Focus. Inner peace.
Those are goals, too.
Don’t say you don’t have any — you do. You just haven’t named them yet.
Having goals doesn’t make you greedy.
It makes you human.
We are the only species that wakes up wondering, “What’s next?”
That curiosity — that hunger — is how we build, create, and evolve.
Even when you reach your definition of peace or success, your next purpose becomes helping someone else find theirs. That’s legacy. That’s the natural evolution of a fulfilled life.
The people who downplay goals usually aren’t as content as they seem.
They’ve just stopped dreaming out loud.
So have your goals — loud, proud, and unapologetic.
Whatever they look like.
Because when you stop caring, you stop growing.
And none of us were put here just to survive.
