Why do they have goalposts on a football pitch

Imagine how the game would go if there weren’t any!

22 people, running about aimlessly, kicking a ball here or there. Nothing happening. No drama. No joy. No regret.

Just running about kicking a ball.

⚽️ How will they ever know they’ve got anywhere?

They won’t.

⚽️ How will they ever know they’ve achieved anything?

No hope.

⚽️ How will they know what they’re there for?

They’re not there for anything! Just passing the time.

And that’s exactly what our life is like when we have no aim in life. No goals. Nowhere to head.

Do you want to get to the end of your days and say, “Is that it?” or do you want to knuckle down, decide what you really want in this one precious life of yours, and go for it?

Whatever it is you would dearly love to do, once you’ve discovered it you need to make some plans to get it into reality - into existence.

Now I’m not suggesting you should plan it to within an inch of its life! I’m all for setting goals and targets, but the more I work through life - the more I achieve what I want to do - the more I see that keeping your plans fluid, keeping your choices open, is the way to go.

If you map everything out in minute detail you actually prevent serendipitous things happening!

You can miss out on opportunities because you have your head down and you’re following your plan.

So a combination of goal-setting and an openness to happenstance is what I’ve found works best.

But this I do know!! Unless you decide where you want to go, unless you set a target to aim for, you’ll be like those 22 footballers aimlessly kicking the ball around and wondering why they’re not getting a result!
