Setting the Right Goal For You
In this episode I am talking about setting the right goals for you and what that means to your overall success and fulfillment. Goals are great and we should be setting them and laying out a sound plan to reach them. However, when it comes to results obtained, many fall far short of reaching their goals. This causes many psychological issues that discourage people from even bothering with goals anymore. It can cause people to resent themselves and destroy their self image. We have to be mindful of the goals we set and have the mental capacity to deal with the process and not just get tied to a result. A fantasy with no strategy is useless and can even be detrimental especially if they are those big bold audacious goals we are taught to set by self proclaimed experts.
A lot of people have experienced the pain of what they perceive as failure in the pursuit of achievement. I lay out several main reasons why we fall short of our goals and why we stop chasing them. We must know what the right goals are for us. They have to mean something and we need a solid reason that aligns with who we are if we are to pursue it. And like anything worthwhile pursuing, goal reaching will come with it's set of challenges that will tempt us to throw in the towel. On, the other hand, there are goals we set that are not worth our time and effort but we like to think they are. All in all, the right goals are great because they cause us to grow and it is in the growing, not the getting that makes the pursuit of something better worthwhile.
