Rob Berkley with Jesse Cannone the Trap of Trying to Achieve Someone Else's Goals, They Must Be Your Own in an edited radio show podcast. The topic in part three of this playlist is the warning that one should not fall into the trap of trying to achieve someone else's goals, for the motivation is not pure and the opposite result often occurs. The example used is a real life story about husband encouraging his wife to lose weight, with him claiming it was for her own good but it was actually his goal for and she ended up gaining weight under the pressure from him.
