Goals are often viewed only in a binary way, you either achieve them or you don’t; but when you think of development as being a process of making mistakes and learning from them, it takes away the perfectionist mentality. How many New Year’s resolutions end prematurely because of all or nothing thinking? People feel they failed once, so why even try. If we look at this year there are many times we didn’t meet our expectations, but we were able to learn and pivot when we fell short. This year we have learned a lot about how we ‘define and refine’ who we want to be and what we desire for our future selves.
