For most people it’s not even a goal it’s a worldview.
If your entire view of life is fear then you worry about everything, no matter how many goals you have.
Goals can be bandaids if the foundation they rest on is a garbage heap.
Overthinking and getting anxious over trivial issues that won’t matter in the long run is the default mode of a mind that has yet to find a meaningful goal to focus on.

And it’s not about just money. He’s in his 70s going off to a stranger about the lack in his life. Which means he’s been carrying that for decades.
This guy did the world a service by telling his story. He gave you the cheat code which is - do what you were out here to do.
@mtaibbi All this time did was show how afraid and miserable most people are. A lot of tough talk before the virus only for it to hit and people followed everything like a dog on a leash.
People “trying” to be confident will never be confident because confident people don’t even think about it.
If you want to be confident, become better at your craft, with family, friends, whatever.
The confidence will come only after deliberate action.
It’s not really about confidence - it’s about focus.
People focused on the mission no matter what it is aren’t thinking about confidence.
They just pick a route and move because they know the rest will work out.
Life moves in patterns and if you have the eye to see them, you’ll notice they’ve always been there.
Every single time something changed for the better in my life, it was proceeded by patterns that were directly leading to it.
But due to worry and fear we miss them.
Point is, you have to see the way life is moving and move with it.
Because it’s already showing you where it’s going to go.
