Reframe Your Goals & Reclaim Your Dreams Mags Thomson

This world is constantly telling us that we aren't enough: not good enough, pretty enough, successful enough, productive enough, and the list goes on. As a result, much of our drive to grow and develop seems rooted in our wish to convince the world to like us. We just want to be loved, feel that we belong, and-at the end of the day-have a sense that we're accepted for who we are. Yet, when we set these types of goals (driven by these kinds of motivations), we often give up before getting halfway to reaching them. This is because, deep down, we know that our shame-based attempts at self-improvement aren't actually going to make us feel the way we want to feel. And furthermore, the following sense of failure leaves weighed down by frustration and disillusionment. So we give up. And maybe even stop setting goals altogether. Do you identify with this?This makes me sad because having the ambition to achieve things that are important to you really can be helpful on the way to building a life you love. Our goals can keep us focused as we build the life we dream of. However, the way we approach them will determine our success. The reasons why you're setting a certain goal (as well as how you go about doing it) are just as important as the goal itself. My aim in this mini-course is to get you excited about setting goals again. Are you ready to join me in setting goals for yourself that are grounded in reality and compassion toward your humanity?
