07: The Freedom of Focus: Choosing the RIGHT Goals for YOU
It’s tempting to grab someone else’s goal and run with it—signing up for a race, starting a challenge, or committing to something that looks inspiring. But if it doesn’t fit your season, your situation, or how God wired you, it can quickly become a source of frustration instead of fruit.
In this episode, Laura and I share about goals we thought we should set… and how we learned (the hard way) that knowing ourselves is the key to choosing goals we’ll actually keep.
We talk about:
Why two competitive people (us!) thrive in completely different environments
How to identify your “motivators” and “drainers”
The role of journaling, personal inventory, and music in goal-setting
How your season and situation impact what’s realistic right now
The freedom of choosing not to focus on everything at once
Key Quotes:
“Knowing yourself and what you love...it’s about making sure your effort is actually worth it in this season.”
“We might be in the same season as someone else, but our situations are different. And that changes everything about the goals we set.”
You’re always going to disappoint someone. The key is to decide in advance who it’s going to be and make sure it’s the right people.”
