I clutched to the ground.

I'll save you all the rest of that details of that story.

I ended up getting drafted in the sixth round.

I learned a valuable lesson that day.

Stop setting goals, here's why.

At best, if you set a goal, you will achieve it.

But what if you could have achieved more?

At worst, if you set a goal and you don't achieve it, you ruin your self-esteem and your self-efficacy.

My self-esteem and my self-efficacy or your self-worth, how you look at yourself, were ruined that day, were undermined that day.

So instead of setting goals now, Louis, I have an objective with no limitations.

Small difference, but that small difference will make a huge impact on your life.

A goal by definition is an end towards which energy is aimed.

An objective is simply directing energy towards something.

So why, if I'm gonna have a goal, would I focus on the end when I'm at the beginning?

Instead, I direct all of my energy towards something.

I start my book, Illogical, which you and I are gonna get into.

Imagine a life without failure.

Why?

Because when you don't set a goal, you can't fail.

And so many of us combat failure in our lives.
