123: When is Enough, Enough?

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In this week’s episode, I want to talk one-on-one with you about setting goals, and I hope that by sharing my story, it might help you with yours.  I open up the episode by recalling my decision back in January to start running again and to write a memoir.  Giving myself attainable weekly milestones gave me incredible momentum to help me achieve my goals.  I found that setting smaller goals was not only more sustainable, but also more effective to achieving my larger ones.  </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I go on to talk about the importance of setting the right goals. In order to do this we have to ask ourselves the right questions.  Does the pursuit of this goal make me unhappy?  Does this goal align with my priorities? By interrogating ourselves like this, it helps us make sure we are pursuing the right objective.  I draw this episode to a close by reminding you all, and myself, that it’s okay to change our goals when our priorities do.  After all, life is an ever changing process.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>The Finer Details of This Episode:</strong></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Running marathons again and starting my memoir</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">My experience committing to my goals</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">The importance of setting reasonable goals</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Asking yourself the right questions </span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Why it’s okay if your priorities change </span></li> </ul> <p> </p> <p><strong>Quotes: </strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Oftentimes, we pick goals because we think we're supposed to go after them, and then later realize, we don't freakin’ want that.”</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;"
