What would be the guarantee that half way down the life, we would not feel that we made a mistake in choosing the long term goal.... in fact the probability of this feeling cropping up in life at one stage or the other seems rather too high to me.
How can one confidently decide on fixing a long term goal in life, since our mind keeps continuously changing?
Nothing is fixed in life. Sometimes, long term goals that you fixed long ago just have to give way to more realistic or sometimes even more far-fetched goals as we move through our course in life. Change is the only guarantee in life.
Be that as it may, we all need something to focus on, something to hope for, something to keep our dreams alive. That's how the human spirit survives--we need dreams and goals to chase through this mud pool of reality. And as we follow our paths towards the realization of these goals, we unearth new paths, unravel mysteries and discover new facets of our selves. These goals, by serving as a star to guide us through this dark uncertainty of reality, help us grow and become better people. They may change but they serve as a stepping stone to our one true goal.

lolz coolz but we can have a goal like have a wife then job what house to live in how many kids

or have a goal like me to be a better person everyday
Our long term goal in life is to be happy, and it doesn't change. We all seek happiness and we keep changing our ideas about what makes us happy, but the goal itself stays the same. Sometimes we never achieve that goal at all, and die unhappy, but it simply because we didn't go the right way to seek happiness. Setting a goal is one thing, finding a way to achieve it is another and as life throws challenges in our direction, we grow up and learn, and change our philosophies, but we always strive to this one goal - to be happy and content.
i believe that proper focusing is extremely required in attaining a long term goal in life. Positive thinking will be the best weapon to mark that ordeal in life. Positive thoughts draw positive energies and as soon you have this in the targetted goal set. I firmly believe there is nothing impossible for that goal to reach. Yes there may be obstacles in hurdling the course but in the end the triumph will be yours.
Write it down.
It is what it is, tomorrow is not promised to anyone so long term goals are good but not set in stone. You never know what your health may be like in the future.
