The purpose of life

Each person must take responsibility for finding his or her own life purpose, not as a generalized goal, a path to follow or a rhythm of specific actions. The purpose of life alludes to the greatest desires and longings that lie within each person.

Try to set concise and achievable goals, focused on different time periods, so that each action leads to a new action and so on. The goals can be adjusted to your tastes, needs and particularities. The important thing is that you commit yourself honestly to execute them and measure the results critically.

Short-term goals are those that you will start working on now. They must be executed in a relatively short period of time. These goals should be achievable with the means you have at your disposal today or with others that are easily accessible. The medium-term goals will depend on the execution of the short-term goals. They are goals that give way to the continuation of the actions carried out in the short-term period.
