6 Warning Signs That Setting Goals Is Actually Sabotaging You
“Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don’t resist them – that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.” – Lao Tzu.
Setting goals used to be one of my favorite things to do.
From sticking a piece of paper with all my goals on the
ceiling of my room (so it would be the first thing I saw when I woke up)
to planning my entire day out on Outlook, I tried to have my entire
life organized and disciplined.
I was always determined to follow through on my goals and
achieve them no matter what. The problem was that I was never happy even
after achieving my goals. I just got greedy and soon, there were a lot
more goals in my life and too many things to do every day. Eventually, I
hit the point when life stopped being fun and I got burnt out from the
stress.
