My philosophy is that " If you have no goals in life then you can never fail and if you never fail then you can never be upset". Live a total indifferent life. Do you agree.

Not bad. And to the point. You have a great lead on most people. We're usually forced into competition......

At you funeral. what do you want people to say about you?
that you never failed!! wow you also never did anything, never loved anyone, never went anywhere, never stood up for what is right.
The richness of life is in the experiences. You need to have bad experiences to make the good ones meaningful. Goals are so important to making anything happen.
If you fail at something, try again. and if you fail. try again. and if doesnt work try 70*77 times. and if you fail. try again.

Take note: why not have some goals that you feel are worthwhile, and work toward them, but be indifferent to whether you succeed. Same lack of stress, but you'd be "honoring" your interests, and giving them "a try".
However, if your meaning is that you just "do what you do" as meets your interests at the moment, that's of course fine, and is probably along the same lines. That's not really goalless, just kind of "flow(e)y", i'd say.
In either event, i'd say you just may be a "natural" Taoist--good choice :))

Sounds good and then other people hit the scene and they have it for you. If you don't meet their expectations, then you've failed and they quickly let you know. Regardless whether or not you had any, someone now regards you as a failure and that stings becuase you've lost their respect. Without respect, you are remanded to the lowest dregs of the human race. That wears upon any self-respect that one may have.

Hey, I have a little stress free philosophy, too:
Like Seal's song, follow these words: "We're never going to survive, unless we get a little crazy..."
Works for me;
1. Can't beat'em, join'em.
2.If some weirdo tries to pick me up or bother me, I get a little crazy and they think twice before even trying.
3.Someone's bothering me or bugging me or arguing with me, I get a little crazy and I start to laugh and feel much better.
4. When I think about depressing, seemingly unfixable world issue, I get a little crazy and it no longer matters.
My friends say I look years younger and want to know my secret.

What is so great about not being upset?
I am upset and I get over it.

You can still be upset at not having accomplished anything....
For me, it's:
1. Don't sweat the small stuff.
2. Everything is small stuff.
