A Grand Goal In Living...

A Grand Goal In Living...
A handwritten page inside an open notebook

[Without a grand goal in living]…there is a danger that you will mislive - that despite all your activity, despite all the pleasant diversions you might have enjoyed while alive, you will end up living a bad life. There is, in other words, a danger that when you are on your deathbed, you will look back and realise that you wasted your one chance at living. Instead of spending your life pursuing something genuinely valuable, you squandered it because you allowed yourself to be distracted by the various baubles life has to offer.” - William Irvine

Damn.

I’ll just leave that there, while I go off for a nice long walk to reflect on my own grand goal…
