Values Over Goals

The problem with goals

You hit the goal… and then what?
What if you fail? Does that mean you are a failure?

Try this instead

Let values guide your direction. Goals are just check-ins.

  • Goal: “Lose 5kg”
  • Value: “Take care of my body with respect”

Even if the goal isn’t reached, the value still gives meaning.
