I wish I was a simple person

I know they tend to have more peace and contentment, but I always have to have goals, plans and ideas to keep me going. I always have to have things to research and things to understand. Not having those makes me feel like I'm not living to my full potential.

Why does it have to be either/or? To not have challenges, curiosity, things to research and understand is boring as can be. I understand that. But part of that is not being so straight-jacketed by goals, plans, timetables that there is never time for spontaneity, or simply pausing for reflection and evaluation. Takes both to be whole, imho.
