Embrace Progress Over Perfection

Setting goals with a time limit is common, but failing to reach those goals often leads to negative self-assessment rather than constructive evaluation. Instead of spiraling into self-doubt and questioning the purpose of goal-setting, individuals should adopt a mindset of curiosity. This involves recognizing achievements made along the way and identifying areas for improvement without attaching personal failure to unmet goals. The key lies in understanding that achievements and failures do not define one’s worth; instead, they are opportunities for reflection and growth.
