same here. Obviously I was speaking metaphorically. And obviously you don't have to make goals, etc. but wishful thinking isn't a substitute for making goals.

You are very welcome to your belief in these requirements in your life, you may be right, and thank you for sharing them, but they have nothing to do with me and creating a life I love.

clearly it's a different viewpoint from yours. That's the value of discussion.

I would like to invite you to try on a communication style that generates a space of freedom, as opposed to the Bossy Boots Operational Method (Bossy Boots' motto: "I'm right and you're wrong!") . Just to see how it goes.
Lots of love,

I tend not to mince around and hint at what I think. I just out with it. I'm also of a very scientific bent which means that evidence is everything. Anecdote and wishing are nothing.
To say there is no objective reality invites magical thinking. In my [not so] humble opinion magical thinking is a waste of a powerful intellect. Thinking can affect doing and that's important. Otherwise the universe doesn't care what you think. It only "cares" what you do.
And in physics like repels like. Only opposites attract.
