Jake Burhans says chasing fixed goals creates chronic stress because you'll just move the goalpost once you reach them. Instead, treat your goal as a North Star that guides your direction, focus on the process, and aim for 1% daily improvement.

Pressure, stress, and anxiety will always run your life as long as you treat your goals as a destination to be achieved. Your goals are meant to be a North Star. It's meant to orient your thoughts, your actions, and your behaviors. And you're meant to enjoy the process, get 1% better every day. It's not about attaining anything. Goals are meant to be pursued, not necessarily attained, because once you attain it, what happens? You just move the goalpost, you move the marker, because we want to grow as human beings. So treat your goals as North Stars and you will significantly reduce the stress in your life.
