Yes You

Is your goal TOO big?


Listen Later

In a world where goals are meant to be 'big, hairy and audacious', and where 'if your dream doesn't scare you, you're not dreaming big enough' this might be a controversial question... is your goal too big?

Now stay with me here.
I had a conversation with a dear friend in Nepal, and I asked him what he believed was the key to happiness. His answer (which I share in this episode) got me thinking about goals, and whether our goals actually enhance our lives? Not just in the future, when they're achieved, but now.

We know that the happiness that comes from achieving a goal fades over time, so it's worth considering whether our goals make us happy, or enrich our lives in some way, even as we're working towards them.

In this episode I share some questions you can ask yourself relating to your goals and dreams.  And I offer some suggestions for revising your goals to make them work for you, not just in the future, but right now.
