The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference.
The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's indifference.
The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference.
And the opposite of life is not death, it's indifference.
-Elie Wiesel

It seems quite simple that people who have a goal in mind are not as listless as those without one. Yet some go through their daily lives not knowing what they want to get out of that day. How can one accomplish something when there is no goal to accomplish? Goals don't have to be of epic proportions - in fact, they probably shouldn't be. Life should be taken step by step. Every small achievement counts.
