Understanding the Relationship with Goals

Having a relationship with goals means engaging with them consistently rather than merely setting them at the start of the year. Many individuals approach their goals with initial enthusiasm, but as life happens—like job changes or personal emergencies—they tend to drift away from them. This drifting often leads to neglecting these goals altogether, with individuals finding themselves starting each new year at the same point, frustrated by unfulfilled aspirations. Establishing a meaningful connection with goals necessitates regular check-ins, allowing for adjustments as circumstances evolve.
