Have you ever had goals that just won’t seem to stick no matter how hard you try?
You might think it’s due to poor planning or lack of motivation, but the real reason: those goals aren’t actually yours – they belong to someone else.
The goals that you have set for yourself may have been based on external expectations or pressure from society, your parents or your partner.
When your goals don’t come from intrinsic motivation or genuine passion, you will find it hard to commit and take action. And even if you do achieve them, you may not feel as happy and fulfilled as you may have expected.
So before you get SMART on your goals, ask yourself this question: Who does my goal belong to?
Your answer will determine your happiness and success.
