28 - Goals

Full transcript here 👋 Hey, good morning, good afternoon, good evening. This is your life. This is your chance. Listen. The word for today is goals. Recently, Jon Acuff said that a group of high school students proclaimed that weight loss is the only legitimate reason for a goal. I don’t know if you’re feeling that wisdom, but they’re vocalizing what many people probably think. Goals are only for when you’re in a pickle. No! Goals are small markers for where you want to be. I bet every one of those high schoolers have dreams, but I bet most are scared to set goals to achieve those dreams. That makes the dream feel like work, and dreams are just supposed to be granted, right? Today’s concrete challenge is to envision where you want to be next year. This could be a physical location, level of success, or any other life attribute that you truly want. Be honest with yourself about what’s feasible, but also stretch what you think is possible. If you want to take it one step further, make one micro-goal that will serve as a tiny mark of progress. You are capable of more than you know. Let me know about your next year’s life at concrete.win/today. Check back tomorrow for a new challenge. Until then.
