Me, on top of the clock tower in Prague in 2010.
I was chasing after a dream that did not work out as I envisioned.
But I was on a great big adventure a gazillion miles from home.
And I grew so much from this experience.
Without it...
I have no children.
I have not travelled the world.
And I am not writing about goals in this Substack post.
I think that’s what we misunderstand about goals, ambition, and sometimes even the art of manifestation.
It’s all about becoming the person we are supposed to be, and only a very small amount of it is about achieving the actual goal.
Goals get us in motion.
They stop us from sinking into inertia, boredom, and becoming atrophied at a soul level.
They pump energy into our veins.
They fill us with optimism.
I’ve never been attracted to human beings who don’t have goals, AND I’ve always been drawn to people who dare to believe that the seemingly impossible might be... possible.
If you are feeling tired or stuck, then it’s time to set new goals, bigger ones, braver ones, ones that send you on a great big adventure.
Are you with me?
