Short excerpt from a Worldwide Ty YouTube masterclass on goal-setting and values. SPEAKER A argues that being "consumed by a goal" is not inherently healthy or unhealthy — it depends on the goal's moral/constructive character — and contrasts positive goals (retire a parent, attend college) with harmful ones (becoming a major drug dealer).
I don't think that people understand being consumed by a goal is healthy. Right? Because if the. If only. If the goal is healthy, if your goal is to be the biggest dope dealer, you know what I'm saying, on the south side, I can't really say that. That's the thing. But if your goal is to, you know, I want to retire my mom and I want to go to this college, right? Yeah.
