12. Goal Setting Myths

Is This All There Is?

Goals, goals, goals. We love them, we hate them and we keep making them despite how conflicted they can make us feel. For many of us, goals are a lose-lose. When we achieve them, we don’t celebrate but think “if I could do it, anyone could”. If we don’t achieve them, we berate ourselves and our self-confidence pays the price. In today’s episode rewrite this script and challenge you to see goals themselves as a means to an end – one that has personal development at its centre rather than an external outcome. I set the tone by discussing a marathon goal I had and how halfway through it, I realised I was doing it for a very common, but dangerous reason: external validation. I use this anecdote to make broader observations about the importance of feeling valuable outside of productivity and achievement. I dispel the myth that if we don’t’ have goals we become stagnant, and offer tools to help you reframe goal setting as a ‘journey driven’ activity rather than a static destination. I help you reimagine goals as the activity that helps you stretch and grow into the person you want to be.
