When the goal isn’t the goal

Sometimes, it’s better when the goal isn’t the goal.

**When the goal is the goal, we lose control. **Needing a project or business to succeed puts the keys to your happiness in the market’s pocket. Needing to be seen as a good father puts you in constant need for external validation.

**When the goal isn’t the goal, we gain everything we want. **That project or business gets a better shot at success when our happiness is found in the process, not the outcome. We may be better parents if we focus on the right actions, not merely those which attract praise.

What goals are you pursuing at the moment?

What if you made those goals…not the goal?
