What is my goal?

"When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don't adjust the goals, adjust the action steps." ~ Confucius

​What is the goal? And why do I keep thinking I need to adjust the action steps?
If the goal is Peace of Mind, no steps are required other than the joyful dropping of any idea that I know how to reach it. If the goal is anything other than absolute Peace there are no steps I could ever take that will bring true and lasting satisfaction.
Love, Diederik
