I. Rethinking Goal Setting

Set a “worthy goal” that is deserving of your time, attention and energy.

No matter our longevity, life is short and precious. So let's define our worthy goal(s) and ensure it rates high with these three qualities:

1. Thrilling – When you consider this idea or project, you get excited, because it resonates with you. You think “I want” and not “I should.”

2. Important – Your idea contributes to others around you, either on a small scale, such as improving a relationship with someone, or on a large one, such as starting an organization.

3. Daunting – While this idea excites you, it also stretches your talents and capabilities, pushing you to work outside your comfort zone.

II. Notes To Self

• Healing comes in waves. Progress comes in waves. Grief comes in waves. Creativity comes in waves. Growth comes in waves. Happiness comes in waves. Trust the journey.

• Respect your capacities. Respect your intuition. Respect your priorities. Respect your boundaries. Respect your heart. Respect your journey. Respect your worth.

• Don't water yourself down, shrink yourself, or revert to old ways just to keep a version of yourself that you have outgrown alive or to make others feel comfortable. Step forward into your growth.
