Your goals don’t matter

Alright that’s a little bit of hyperbole. The target you’re aiming for does matter, but the the truth is the achieving of the goal is never what changes you. The process is what develops the person. Who you are is more about the sum of the work you do in striving for your aims than it is in the checklist of goals you’ve accomplished. The work is what shapes us, refines us, transforms us.

Choose your aim wisely. Not because checking off goals matters all that much. Choose your aim wisely because the pursuit of that aim is the pursuit of the human you want to become and the life you want to live.
