What's your goal?



Life goals, something not many people really think about.
I, on the other hand, have a sort of obsession when it comes to thinking about the future and life in general, what are we doing? Where are we going? What is it all for? At the end of the day we are just mere pawns, answering to bishops who answer to the knights and the rooks who answer to the king and the queen, not literally of course, but you get what I mean, just pieces in a game we call life.

Ask yourselves right now what are your life goals? What do you want to get out of life? Health, money, love, friendship, travel... so many things people aspire to. I have no clue when it comes to what I want. We study to work, work to pay bills, pay bills to live 'comfortably', live 'comfortably' to be happy, be happy to enjoy life and enjoy life to eventually die.
How many of us are really enjoying life or doing what we want?  When is it too late to go after your life goals?

At this very moment, 18:04 on Tuesday the 27th of October 2015 there are more than 7 billion people,
7376798530 to be precise. Even though people are dying every minute, more people are being born every minute, this means that the world population is constantly growing, There is only a limited amount of space for all of us, and with places being flooded, bombed and other catastrophes occurring, Where are we all going to fit in a hundred years time? 
All of these people, and only 1% percent of them have more money than all the rest combined. Gives you something to think about.  

I ask myself what do each of us do for someone else? How many of us help an old lady on the bus with her shopping, or make a homeless person smile? How many of us are out there who want to be heard but don't have a voice? How many of us go on with our day to day lives without thinking about how some people in the world live? How many of you are not even slightly bothered?
It's a big world out there where power and money have become 7 billion times more important than the well being of the planet, of the planets inhabitants and of the more simple things in life.
It's scary to think how most of you will read this of your smartphone while sitting around family or friends, or even in a coffee shop somewhere where you have entered because of the free wifi, letting life pass you by as you slowly become more and more introvert and dependent on these little devices that do everything for us, that are even thinking for us. And someone is worrying about what color to paint her nails or what pair of socks they are going to wear.

Going forward is just taking us back.

18:13 - 7376800097 people.

What is technology doing to us socially?

This isn't an infrequent topic to read about in recent years, but it is definitely something I consider relevant to most and necessary to point out. 'What would happen if the titanic happened now?' This is also a question that many have posted on their networks, think about it. This image is probably the best reflexion or answer to the question. I am 90% sure most would be trying to take a snap of what was happening and make it trending topic! We are living in a time where people find it easier to socialise virtually than in real life, I must admit I for one have an account on many social networks, and use them frequently, I do not however consider myself to be addicted to them. I do not feel I need to check them every 10 seconds, but use them mainly when I am bored. A few days ago, I went out with some friends for a night out and there was a moment, or a few, where everyone was on their mobile, whether it was checking Instagram, Snapchat or their messages I d...

Who's the strange one?

I'm a very curious person, the sort of person who, if interested in something, will research every last details of this. Next week is the deadline for 'erasmus' applications to study a term (or more) abroad and I have found myself surrounded by people asking me all about it. I seem to be the only person with a basic knowledge on the subject in my circle of friends. As me and some friends have been preparing a presentation for one of my university subjects, we have been talking about 'known' bloggers here in Spain, I am supposed to give examples in my presentation and my friends have given me loads of names of people with 'funny' blogs or 'funny you-tubers', when I told them I had no idea who any of these people are they were shocked. They may know everything about insignificant matters such as funny videos but at the end of the day none of them have a clue about what they are actually interested in, for example, studying abroad. Some say I take...

It's not what you know, it's WHO you know.

I realise I only just posted yesterday, and never post this frequently but writing is the only way I seem to get anything off my mind lately. I have also realised how much I admire someone who knows what they are doing with their lives... I'm twenty one and have no clue what I actually want to do. How do you know? How can you choose one thing to dedicate yourself to for the rest of your life? When does it become clear what your 'calling' is? I have been told I don't know how many times that it's never too late for anything, but maybe it is. The thought of actually getting to where you want at the age of thirty terrifies me. As you know, it's finals time and everyone is at the library cramming as much in as possible. I was there the other day thinking how many of you are studying what you really want to study? How many of you are doing because your parents or someone else has made you? How many of you are actually going to give 100% to that future jo...
