Reason out your melancholy!

I often, say twice in a week, enter into a state of melancholy (or) desolation for hours and I would think about the reason of this later on. Eventually, I figured out the reason. It was majorly due to this exact same question, "Am I leading a good life?". Do you experience the same? Have you tried reasoning it out?
If yes and no, then please do it once before you delve into my perception.

Here comes the goals of life. I started setting out my journey, however perilous it may sound, based on these goals and I, with a slow and steady processing mind, was able to figure out that the nature of goals are same among the individuals, however the depth of it depends on the individual. This means, no human may escape from these completely but can lessen the depth of goals depending on their circumstances. These goals affect all range of people from beggers to billioners, where each of these goals are equally important and interdependent. I call them "The Fundamental goals of life" that are meant to steer your decision making. Let's make it simple by classifying these shared goals in the following ways,

• Your professional goals - The goals you wish to attain in your professional life for which you probably spend a major portion of your life. These goals need not generate any money, but it is just relevant to your area of expertise. If you possess multiple areas of expertise, so large could be your spectrum of goals in this category.
• Health related goals - This involves exercise, diet, nutrition, body measurement goals. One has to set these cleverly for a healthier lifestyle, and that too depending on the circumstances. Do you track your everyday calorie and micronutrient intakes?
• Financial goals - This is just the amout of money your earn in an year. You must think about earning money depending on your financial needs. For example, if you decide to grow children, then you need to earn a lot when compared to no child. It also depends on your other life goals, for example travel goals.
• Relationship goals - A great life partner can promote your rational thoughts and help you discard your fake biological instincts of life. They can make your life animated and reinforce your growth. They are a good source to vent out your hard expressions sitting at your heart. This may go wrong in newly developing relationships, be wary!, but it is certainly true with relation who sits as the reason for who you are now because they have taught you the knowledge you now possess by believing in you!
  Observe that this goal also contains the child-father relationship goals. You need to decide about the school in which you are going to join your child under this goal :)
• Travel goals - You should not be deceived by the conventional travel goals like tourism (or) trip. It can be a perilous venture in an adverse weather condition (or) it can be the monotonous commute from your work, back to home. Do you wish to travel only in car for your work? Do you have a dream destiny in your life? Set this goal to steer your decision making in this regard. You need to devise goals for each of them, requiring a scrupulous work from your side.

All these goals comes with some effort that you need to put in order to obtain. The intensity of each of these, depends on depth of the goals and your own circumstances. So choosing a right goal and penning down the feasibility of each of them is quite important before chasing it.

Now, how to decide between these goals? How do I know whether I need to become an endurance athlete (or) bodybuilder?
Well, the answer lies on your happiness. At the end, everyone wants to be happy and be proud of their journey through their life. So, you need to think about the ultimate happiness, not the instant gratification, in the process and the result of the goals you set. However, you may be informed wrongly (or) you may have no idea about the happiness you get by doing them, as you haven't had them included in the schedule for a long time, so you need to start with them based on your convenience and initial assumptions and allow revision of the goals once in every year of your initial decade of life from where you started to have these goals.

Note that hobbies are not a part of the goals because you can stay without any hobbies, literally zero. Hobbies are just a healthy way for your timepass, that's it. Maybe it makes you feel happy but I assert that it can't be a reason for your melancholy.

I hope answering these goals and working towards them consistently with yearly self feedback can eradicate the existential crisis and address the frequently occurring melancholy. Mind you, the only reason justifying these goals should be your ultimate happiness in the process and in the result. Nothing else!
