I'm absolutely thrilled to bring you insights from our latest episode, number 93, where we get into the world of goals. But, let me tell you, this isn't your typical New Year resolution pep talk. It's a dive into the heart of what goals really mean for us, beyond the surface level of achievement.
LISTEN TO THE FULL EPISODE

Breaking Free from the "New Year, New You" Cliché

Like many of you, I've never been a fan of the whole 'New Year, New You' mantra. It always felt too superficial, too fleeting. In this episode, I advocate a different approach – 'New Year, New Way.' This isn't about transforming into a new person every year but about evolving, growing, and finding new ways to approach our dreams and aspirations.

The True Value of Setting Goals

Goals have always been a part of our lives, whether it's personal or professional. But what's often overlooked is the importance of these goals in providing us focus and direction. It's not just about ticking off items on a checklist; it's about guiding our efforts and energies towards something meaningful.

The Journey Matters More Than the Destination

One of the key themes of this episode is understanding that the journey to achieving a goal is often more valuable than the goal itself. It's about who we become in the process, the lessons we learn, and the person we evolve into. This journey shapes us in ways we often don't anticipate when we first set out towards a goal.

Transformative Power of Challenging Goals

I used the example of training for a marathon, a goal I personally find daunting, to illustrate this point. Training for such an arduous task demands discipline, resilience, and a shift in lifestyle – attributes that alter who you are fundamentally. This transformation is the real reward of pursuing challenging goals.

Financial Goals: A Path to Self-Discovery

Talking about financial goals, I shared how striving towards such targets is more than just about the numbers in your bank account. It's about becoming more creative, resourceful, and confident. It's about the discomfort we're willing to endure and the new heights we're willing to reach.

Approaching Weight Loss with Love

Weight loss goals, a common subject for many, was another area we touched upon. I emphasized the significance of approaching these goals with love and positive intentions. It's not just about shedding pounds but about how you treat your body, the healthy habits you develop, and the self-love you cultivate.
