It’s Okay to Not Hit Your Goals.
Summary
- Sometimes I don't achieve my goals, and that's okay—it often means I lacked information when setting them.
- When unexpected events, like a pandemic, disrupt industries, it's unfair to judge success solely on original targets.
- Even if the world throws a curveball and half the industry is shut down, as happened with gym closures, it doesn't define my worth or success.
- Giving my all is what counts; I won't feel upset about not meeting a goal under such circumstances.

How To Take Action
- When setting goals, make sure they're realistic with the information I have.
- Be ready to adapt goals when big changes happen, like a pandemic.
- My worth isn't based on meeting every goal, especially when the world has big problems.
- Giving my all is the most important part, even if I don't reach the goal.
I would suggest implementing a flexible approach to goal setting. Here's how we could do that:
- Start by setting goals that feel right with what I know now. If I don't have much information, it's okay to start small.
- Keep an eye on what's happening around me. When something big changes, like a pandemic, I should be ready to change my goals too.
- Remember, my worth isn't about hitting every target. It's unfair to be too hard on myself when things outside my control happen, like a gym shutting down.
- Focus on the effort I put in. Even if things go sideways, if I gave it my all, that's what really counts.
These steps are simple to do. They don't cost money or take much time. But they can help me feel better about my goals, and keep me going even when things get tough. This way, I can stay focused on what I can control and keep pushing forward, no matter what.
