About This Quote

The problem for a lot of people is that they don't really know what they want. They have vague desire: to 'do something creative' or to earn more money or 'to be free', but they can't really pin down what it is precisely that they want. So they drift from one thing to another, enjoying some moments and hating others, but never really finding fulfillment or success. (..)This is why it's hard to lead a successful life (whatever that means to you) when you don't know what you want.

In this quote the author tries to explain the difficulties of leading a successful life when one doesn’t know what one wants and can’t pin point exactly what it is that you want. It also goes on to explain that we should be aware of our desires and not let them drift away from us and into oblivion. If we do this, we will find the fulfillment of our lives through the simple act of knowing our desires and seeking out their fulfillment.
