It’s a wonderful goal to lose 10 kgs in 3 months.
Or to make sure you get promoted this year.
Or to find the love of your life within a year.
However we don’t have a basis for setting that goal.
And if we don’t reach the goal, we call ourselves a failure.
An alternative, then, is to not set goals.
Instead, take some action daily.
I will workout daily
I will gather feedback on all my projects, even if they might not be positive.
I will be genuinely interested in people and say hi to every new person I meet.
Over time, the need for action will be replaced by addiction to action.
Goals can make you look like a winner or a loser.
Habits only have winners!
Hello Mr Warikoo,
Thank you for creating a space where one can learn things about career, the self and navigating life in a conscious manner.
These things are not taught at school or if one were to look for them they are not available in one place. So, I am glad and I feel privileged to have access to all these nuggets of wisdom here.
I was looking for place to leave a message after listening to the Questions episode on your podcast and found my way here and this Goals vs Action post spoke to me as well.
All I want to say is – thank you!
Best Regards,
Esha
