Writing Challenge - Day 2

Day 2: Share a personal goal you're working toward. 

Hmm, I believe I shouldn't write out my specific goals. I'll just give an overview instead. Actually, I have a lot of goals I want to accomplish. But I'll share just one — the one that makes me feel most alive. 

I want to be someone who is genuinely useful to others.

By useful, I don’t just mean helping in small ways — it’s bigger than that. I want to be one of those people who make a real difference in the world, who contribute to humanity, who maybe even save lives, create breakthroughs, and so on. 

But before that, I need to become someone who can take care of himself first. How am I supposed to help others if I can’t even help myself? So, I need to work on myself first before I can move on to helping others.  So, my first focus is on working on myself, deepening my knowledge, and honing my skills. 

I know where I am right now, and I understand that becoming that kind of person is still a dream. But I don’t think dreaming is a bad thing. Dreaming is free, right? And it keeps us motivated to improve, little by little, day by day. 

Honestly, setting goals that depend on others is risky because we can’t control how others respond. Maybe when I try to help, someone feels like it hurts their pride. Maybe it makes them insecure. Or maybe my help just doesn’t turn out the way I hoped. There are so many things that could go wrong. 

But I’ll still try to help, starting with my family, friends, colleagues, neighbors, or maybe even people I meet on the street on my way home. I’m trying to become that person.
