How to be totally miserabl--Part 9

Don't set goals!!
If you're trying to be miserable, it's important you don't have any goals.  No school goals, personal goals, spiritual goals, family goals.  With nothing to shoot for, your life is shot.  Your only objective each day should be to inhale, exhale, and pump blood.  Don't read anything informative, don't listen to anything useful; don't do anything productive.  If you start achieving goals, you might start to feel a sense of accomplishment; then you might want to set another goal, and as soon as that happens, your miserable mornings are through.  To maintain your misery, the idea of crossing off your achievements should never cross your mind.
People who say that life is not worthwhile are really saying that they themselves have no personal goals which are worthwhile.  Get yourself a goal worth working for.  Better still, get yourself a project.  Always have something ahead of you to
"look forward to"---to work for and hope for.  Maxwell Maltz
