What's my goal in life?

I never really had a good goal in life. Basically, my goal before college was to get into college because that was the required roadmap. There was no deviations. Now that I am in college, I don't really have a goal other than to graduate college. I don't have a super strong feeling about working and/or grad school.

But my overall goal that I always had was happiness. I don't think I have achieved it. Happiness at its core is only an emotional state. You can decide to be happy or sad and actually feel that way. You don't have to be emotionally distressed because that guy tripped you. Being optimistic, you will just say it is an accident and move on. However, it's not that simple. People have short tempers, get into arguments and cause chaos in life.

Reflecting back on my previous relationship, I felt that I was happy then. It gave me more motivation. It motivated me to make her happy and to not disappoint her. I did not completely fulfill that goal because we now broke up. I am not happy now... I feel empty and lonely. I hang out with people on the Friday nights and study with people but I wish there was more. Having a girlfriend almost guarantees that you have someone to talk to, cuddle with, have fun, study, dance, hug, eat, do house stuff, etc. It makes it more fun having someone do it with you. However, you have personality conflicts with your girlfriend. But it's ok because you love them so you tolerate it. At the same time, you hope to change them to make them better and you might nag which annoys them. But you did it out of love for them. However, a key thing is to communicate and to not over look small problems. Problems need to be solved, not over looked. Problems with other problems become big problems that cause the whole tower to fall down. Communication is key.

I am still looking for what motivates me and my happiness in life. Having a family seems like a good motivator because you must care and provide for them that already allots most of your remaining life. Your goal in life is set.

What is my goal in life? I'm still looking. What's your goal in life?
