I want to choose so as not to choose

Goal, purpose, objectives. They all share the same meaning but appears in different forms. Life is composed of goals. Without goals there is no life. Every aspect of life has its goals, has its purpose. Even a day has different goals, minor or major goals. A goal is composed of several minor goals or steps to achieve. Take for instance, your goal of going into the office. First your goal is to get dressed, a goal to be ready, to get on the prefered train, to walk, to reach the specific elevator, and finally to reach your desk on time. Just imagine, if the goal of getting to the office has been removed, such as on vacation day, of course you set a new one. But there are times when you are too excited to get into your goal and suddenly it was snapped right before your eyes away just when you thought you would have it. You have a choice. To set a new one or stay stagnant. As you stay stagnant, you will be filled with self-pity and disappointments. And little by little it will consume you that it would affect your performance on achieving other goals other tasks has set for you. Gradually your efforts will be drained by these emotions instead of being useful on other tasks. But if you would set a new one, you will be as jolly and active as you are. As inpired as you are supposed to be. However, it is not a question of whether you choose to stay stagnant or not. The moment your goal is snatched right in front of you means pain. So the question is, "Is it easy to make a choice?".
