Hierarchy of Goals: The Pyramid and Christmas Tree Analogy
Goals can be visualized as a hierarchy, similar to a pyramid or a Christmas tree, with specific concrete goals forming the base and higher-order, overarching goals representing the pinnacle. Specific tasks serve higher-level objectives, which in turn contribute to the ultimate purpose or 'telos' behind one's actions. This hierarchical structure provides coherence and organization to individual goals, ensuring they are aligned with the overarching purpose, whether it relates to professional objectives or personal relationships.
