Um, and so goals are specific, they're concrete, they're, they're mile markers on a journey. Uh, and then the useful thing to do with your goals is to obviously become increasingly intrinsically motivated towards the goals you set. And even the standards you set for yourself, that they're less about, um, what anyone else thinks, what anyone else wants.

And so if you're always measuring yourself against a moving target, and also a moving target that by definition is unreachable, You can't actually reach an ideal. It's an ideal. But if you're always measuring yourself against it, then you never feel like you've moved anywhere.

And that's actually why we wrote the book is because high achievers by nature have huge ideals, but they also usually measure themselves against them. And our culture is trained that way. Social media trains us to have ideals and to always be comparing ourselves externally. And sometimes ideals are other people. Yeah.

And you actually get better at doing that when you just start measuring your progress backwards. So like I'll set a goal for myself. I've got huge goals for 2023. But in terms of where I'm measuring myself and in terms of my benchmark, like my benchmark for 2023 is what I accomplished in 2022. Like I accomplished some cool things, but I'm using that Since it's tangible. Ideals are not tangible.
