And it’s not about the money.

I’m sitting in Taiwan’s International Airport.

I impulsively booked a flight out of the country last night. I’m now sitting at a Starbucks sipping my overpriced oat latte. I’m watching planes take off and land.

I’ve started journaling my goals for the next 12 months.

Here are my plans to make $1m in 2025.

I want to contradict myself.

Money doesn’t motivate me.

I don’t have any material desires. There’s no car, house, or clothing that I want to buy. Aside from travel, I don’t spend all that much.

So what motivates me? Setting big goals.

By setting an outrageous target of $1m, I’ll program my mind to look at opportunities that can make $1,000,000.

Your goals prime your reality.

They shape how you interpret information. Two people with two different goals can read the same book and have wildly different takeaways.

Neither one is wrong.

They have consumed information for different purposes. Without a goal, information is useless. It becomes nothing more than mental masturbation.
