Jordan Peterson - What To Do If I Don't Have Any Goals?

If you don’t have goals, it’s like being lost in a park without a map, you just wander around, not sure where to go.

Imagine you're playing with your toys, and instead of building a castle or racing your toy cars, you just sit there looking at them. You’re happy, but nothing exciting is happening. That's kind of what it feels like when you don’t have goals, you're not doing anything special, just waiting for something to happen.

A goal is like a fun adventure you get to go on with your toys. If you want to build the tallest tower, that’s your goal. It gives you a direction and makes everything more exciting.

Sometimes, people don’t have goals because they’re not sure what they want, it's like choosing between building a robot or flying a spaceship. You just need time to figure out which one sounds more fun.

You don’t have to be the biggest kid in the park to start having goals. Even little steps, like picking up your toys or drawing one picture, are goals too. They help you grow and learn, and that’s always a good thing! If you don’t have goals, it’s like being lost in a park without a map, you just wander around, not sure where to go.
