AP 298: Do I Really Need Goals? || Growth Spurt

<p>Whether you're goal averse or goal obsessed, it is essential to have a vision to know who you want to be. That's because we have to have purpose. I have felt hopeless and anxiety ridden when I don't see the point to what I'm doing, when I lack purpose. If you've ever asked yourself, "Do I really need goals?" The answer is, in alignment with my anti-perfectionism teachings, yes you do.</p> <p> </p> <p>Goals are a foundation to who we are as humans and our ability to grow. In this episode I share how I was burned out by my outcome oriented goals, them I swung too far the other way and was afraid of goals. I have 3 reasons why you do need to have a vision, and tips for how to keep it achievable. Tune in for how to make your goals a stretch, not a snap, and learn how to bend, not break.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong data-rich-text-format-boundary="true">About a few other things...</strong></p> <p> </p> <p>As we near the 4th anniversary and 300th episode of About Progress I'm doing a "<a href= "http://aboutprogress.com/300giveaway" target="_blank" rel= "noreferrer noopener">300 giveaway</a>" where you can win daily gifts.
