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, right?
But if you're always measuring yourself against something that's way up ahead and also something that you can never actually reach, then what that does for you internally is it feels like you've never made any progress at all.
It also devalues everything you've done to that point.
And so whenever you're in the gap,
It does not matter how much you've achieved.
It doesn't matter if you're living way, way, way beyond the dreams of anything you ever thought you would do.
You actually feel like you've made no progress at all.
And you feel like a loser and you've devalued not only your current self, you've devalued everything that got you here.
And so ideals are beautiful.
They're just not useful as a measurement tool.
They're useful as a direction tool.
Goals are far more concrete.
Obviously, you can have goals that you set that move you toward your ideals.
And so goals are specific.
They're concrete.
They're mile markers on a journey.
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...
what anyone else thinks, what anyone else wants.
