Goal
What is an archer
Without a target?
It is not enough to have the philosophy of Tao. One must act.
Actions, not words, are important. But mere movement is meaningless.
One should have purpose.
Short-term goals help us determine each stage of our lives and
experience it completely. Long-term goals give us perspective and
continuity. Short-term goals help us understand the temporality of life
and yet provide us with a way to benefit by that temporality.
Long-term goals give focus to the experiences that we accumulate.
Our goals should be entirely personal. No one knows us better than we
know ourselves. There is only one universal goal : a gracious death
with no regrets.
Personal Interpretation
We must all live our lives with purpose. We must all formulate goals that will allow us to achieve what we really desire. We need short-term goals and long-term goals. Each serves a different function in our lives. Short-term goals should feed naturally into more long-term ones. Living a life in accordance with Tao is meaningless if we do not act and act in a way that is true to who we are. Goals help us to achieve this directive.
