As a child, many of us had goals or dreams we hoped to achieve. Some were more practical–riding a bike, learning how to cartwheel, or passing a dreaded math test. Others were more fantastical like going to space, becoming a rockstar, or even passing that math test (for those of us who aren’t mathematically inclined). As we grew, so did our ambitions—until we were no longer striving for simple, everyday successes. Instead, lifetime achievements became the pursuit—advanced degrees, meeting certain benchmarks in our personal relationships, and stepping into a career. Although our goals may have changed, our need to create and pursue goals probably hasn’t.
Growth should be a lifetime pursuit—a constant journey to become a better version of ourselves. At the heart of this journey is goal setting. Goals serve as a compass to guide us toward our aspirations, providing direction in an often overwhelming sea of possibilities. To help bridge the gap between where we are and where we want to be, we need to identify and define our goals—then parse them into smaller, actionable milestones.
Creating actionable goals is a nuanced exercise, requiring thoughtful consideration and self-awareness. It’s not merely deciding what we want to do and trying to do it. Instead, we must craft goals that challenge us appropriately while remaining workable. A goal too easily accomplished rarely yields transformative growth. Conversely, a goal that’s too complicated or unrealistic can yield failure—fast.
