Some people don't want to focus on a specific goal because they fear their lives might not be well-balanced. They say things such as these: " I don't really want to go after anything in particular because then I will be closing off other options.
I don't want to become too narrow, " or "If I become too serious about something, I might miss what I really want to do in life." The problem is that people will say things like these for forty-five years and never end up doing anything at all! What they call a pursuit of balance is really an excuse for not making a decision. They end up being average, mediocre people.
True balance is the maintenance of equilibrium while moving toward a destination. A good example of this truth is the way a ship functions on the sea. A ship always needs to maintain its balance. Wouldn't it be a waste of precious time and fuel, however, for a boat to expend all its energy just trying a balance on the water so that it didn't tip over? Some people live for sixty-five years, seventy-five years, ninety years, just balancing.
Yet, balance is not an end in itself; it is a means to an end. Likewise, we need to have a destination while we're maintaining balance in our lives.

Thank you @cplvictoria for your support, I appreciate that
Yeah...we must have a focus and a direction in life...a person without goal is a visionless person in life and such people are dangerous to walk with.
And that person will surely miss a lot of things in life
