The Spiritual Perspective

What to Do When Your Goal No Longer Feels Right


Listen Later

Doubting your goals doesn’t mean you’re failing—it usually means you’re growing.

In this episode, I break down why doubt shows up when you’re on a meaningful path, and why the assumption that things should feel easier is often what keeps people stuck. From a spiritual perspective, goals aren’t meant to unfold in a straight line. The friction, setbacks, and uncertainty are not detours—they’re the training ground.

We explore the difference between optimizing for comfort versus optimizing for growth, why external success alone never creates lasting fulfillment, and how inner work shifts what you focus on when things aren’t going your way. I also share a simple values-based filter you can use to make clearer decisions when you’re torn, overwhelmed, or questioning your direction.

Toward the end, I offer one powerful question you can ask anytime doubt creeps in—a question that reframes challenges as opportunities and helps you stay aligned even when outcomes are unclear. We’ll also look at why chronic complaining quietly drains your energy and how replacing it with awareness and appreciation can change the trajectory of your life.

If you’ve been questioning your goals, feeling behind, or wondering whether you’re still on the right path, this episode will help you see doubt in a completely different way.
