2:13 "the worst thing to do in life is set yourself goals" personally i agree with him on this. mostly because i have personal issues with being happy. for me and im sure for many other people, if you cant reach your goals, or are disappointed that you cannot reach your goals you cant be truly happy. and as he goes on to getting a good job and being happy and having fun doing what you do, it really hits home because i absolutely love my job. and i shouldnt be unhappy because i cant reach my goals, i should be happy because i found something that makes me happy, something i can do for the rest of my life. In many different people, they commit their lives to setting and completing goals because they think it will make them a better person, and to some degree it will. but your first priority should be making yourself happy, finding something to make you happy, then you can go on to make others happy and go on to "improving yourself" through goals. and of course im guilty of this, as are most people. seeing it happen can be kind of irritating, when i see someone so unhappy because they cant do what they want i say to myself "good god you need to think about what makes you happy and continue doing what makes you happy before you go on to anything else" but i always find myself doing something for someone else, something that makes them happy but makes me miserable. so its definitely harder said than done.
