The final reason we set goals
We have this insatiable desire for feedback.
And feedback, it is a predecessor, is a necessary aspect of goal setting.
Think about it in your own life.
Did this Instagram post get as many likes as that Instagram post?
Did this tweet get as many likes as my last tweet?
How about this TikTok post?
Did it get as many shares as my last?
We have this insatiable desire for feedback.
You know, I made a mistake earlier.
I said the surest way to fail in life is to set a goal.
But in all honesty, the only way to fail in life is to set a goal.
Think about anything you've ever failed at, maybe relationally, occupationally, educationally.
That marriage had ended in divorce.
You didn't get into that college that you wanted to.
You didn't pass the MCAT.
You didn't pass the LSAT.
Whatever the case may be, it was all tethered to a goal.
It's not just that the surest way to fail in life is to set a goal.
The only way to fail in life is to set a goal.
