“The reason that most of us are unhappy most of the time is that we set our goals not for the person we’re going to be when we reach them, but we set our goals for the person we are when we set them.
I’ve never had a goal

Great article Jason. I love this quote in particular. I feel a little torn as I like setting goals and see value in the direction and motivation that goals provide. However, this quote makes a great point. I wrote up some of my thoughts on this on my blog that discusses how to balance goal setting with feeling content when you achieve your goals. Would love to hear your thoughts and if you’d be willing to share a link on Twitter you’d make my day 😀
