Quick Update + Let's talk GOALS: Are Your Goals Still Yours?5 sep29 min

<p>Welcome back to <em>Critical Conversations.</em></p><p>Today’s episode is a little bit of a life update, a little bit of a reality check, and a whole lot of me thinking out loud about goals, accountability, community, action, discipline, and purpose.</p><p>This is a thick one.</p><p>Because lately I’ve been doing some serious reflecting on the goals I’ve set, the things I say I want, the things I’m actually doing, and the spaces where those two things aren’t quite lining up.</p><p>And I think there’s something really important in that.</p><p>Sometimes we don’t need a new goal. We need to revisit the goal we already have.</p><p>Sometimes we need to reshape it. Sometimes we need to admit that it’s no longer what we want. And sometimes we need to create completely new disciplines, structures, relationships, and communities to actually support the thing we say we’re trying to create.</p><p>Because wanting something and creating something are two very different things.</p><p>So today, I’m sharing where I’m at, what I’m learning, and some of the questions I’m asking myself—and hopefully, they’ll get you asking a few of your own.</p><p>Are your goals still yours?</p><p>Do your current habits actually support them?</p><p>Who are you accountable to?</p><p>Who is in your community?</p><p>And are you taking the kind of action that moves you toward the life you say you want?</p><p>So grab your coffee, settle in, and let’s have a Critical Conversation about what happens when we stop just setting goals and start getting really honest about what it’s going to take to create them.</p>
