Goals are the most important thing a human being has...
Without goals our life is meaningless, a goal can be to have a family, it can be to get to a certain net worth, it can be to build a company, to read a book, it can be a lot of things.
The reason why people love video games is exactly because of this, because video games have goals! Be the winner in a team deathmatch, be the winner of the arena, finish the story.
Pick your goals very carefully! Pick ones that make you succeed in life! Pick ones that make your life easier! Pick ones that long term will improve your life!
Kids that don't have parents that teach them how to set healthy goals and work for them, will seek to numb themselves or will seek goals that might be bad for them! Instead of working out they'll just play video games, instead of reading they will just watch mindless TV shows! Instead of working to better their financial health they'll just spend it on being numb through alcohol and weed.
Set Goals!
