There's a theory out there. It's called SMART goals and smart is an acronym stands for Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, timely, specific, is great. Timely is great. measurable is great, but what about attainable and realistic? I personally don't like that. Because as soon as you make something attainable and realistic, you give yourself a ceiling, you give yourself a limit a bar that you can jump over.
It's like those people who tell you you can't. But the whole idea of goals is to try to imagine something most most, most amazing thing you can do with your life, right? And actually try to make it happen. And part of it is the journey and part of it part of it is the excitement and part of it is daydreaming like of course you got to work hard too, but the daydreaming is, it's so motivating you It makes you happy you almost like visualize yourself there. And you kill all that really when you make it attainable and realistic. Of course.
Overall long term view, you will have to sort of like, you know, it has to be same. You can't really have a goal of like, I'm going to be the richest person in the world. Like, it's only one guy in the world like that. So it will come into play. Um, but I don't want the limitations to start happening too soon. I don't want you to start telling yourself No, I can't do that.
No, I'm not talented enough, I'm not good enough. I don't want you to be having that in your mind. Right? enough people in the world will tell you that you yourself have to believe in yourself. So I would say go very light on that tangible and realistic. I mean, you'll get there at some point of your journey.
But, um, you know, just wanted to bring up the SMART goals idea because in goal setting theory, it's something that circulates but I would just say, you know, I would under do that attainable realistic in the beginning and really, aim big, you know, aim big. If you fall short of it. You're still going to achieve a lot but It will be so exciting because you're going to be aiming so big
