Goals matter less for hitting targets than for who they make you become. A fashion line group sets weekly goals to push members toward better versions of themselves, and the real win is the habit of growth that sticks, even when the numbers miss.
The most important part of goals is the person that they do become. I'm part of a fashion line group and every week we set out the goals for the coming week. And they can be things that we're trying to hit, see how you're doing, and it's a good debate thing, so that you're the same person. I find the most valuable goals, and hence I strive for them on a daily basis, are the ones that cause me to be a better person, to be the most maximally version of myself. So whether I hit them or not, I am becoming greater. The idea that you are a person who does these kinds of things is really rare to great. And it is hard to maintain. And this is why goals can help us on that goal, on that quest to become person, these better and greater than who we are today.
