This is podcast 134 and it’s about setting achievable goals. We live in a culture where we’re encouraged to set daring goals for ourselves. There’s even an acronym, BHAG, that stands for big, hairy, audacious goal. I approve of goal setting as a way to keep yourself motivated and to be able to tell whether you’ve gotten to the place you want to be so you can stop and acknowledge your progress. Goals don’t have to be big to be effective.

How many goals have you written over the years that you did not accomplish, took longer than you thought, or didn’t turn out like you wanted?

Focus on the process of reaching your goal and the joy that comes with progress. All to often, we get caught up in the “race to the finish.”
