Prominence of Goals
Long ago, back in evolution when humans were not evolved yet and we were living on trees like monkeys, at this point in time once drought came, which eventually led to deforestation. The monkeys don’t have trees to climb to. Now they have to live on land but the land has cheetah and other preying animals. So we as monkeys started taking aim stones at the cheetah and throwing it at them to shoo them away.
When one monkey will throw a stone nothing will happen but if 100 monkeys threw stones the cheetah went away. Throwing a stone in the lake to date feels still so great.
Then they started using sticks to aim and attack to defend themselves and prey upon other animals.
Now their hands are not free to walk because of sticks and stones so they evolved to walk on two legs instead of four.
They developed whites in their eyes so that one person even from far can see where the other person is looking or aiming at. No other animals have evolved whites in their eyes.
Whites in their eyes evolved because when they were hunting animals and they need to specify the aim. Brain size grew doubled in 2 million years and then languages were developed.
People spend their hard-earned money and buy costly tickets to watch people throw a ball in the basket. Throwing a ball in the basket is so great that people cheer together.
Throwing a football in the net is so fun that everyone looks at it in sync and celebrates a goal and some fans even create riots.
The act of throwing or aiming is dopaminergic in nature because it is an act of achievement. Bible says thou shall seek shall find. In Indian mythology, there is a story where Arjun takes aim at the eye of the fish. When a person sets up a long-term goal, they know where to go and what to do, and their life has a structure and a meaning. Keep moving ahead because action creates momentum which in turn creates unanticipated opportunities.
When a person does not have a goal they don’t know what to do in life, or where to go, and then they fear they will spiral downwards in their life. One may give thought to setting up a noble goal and achieving it.
