The Hidden Benefits of Setting Small Goals.

Why do we all set such huge goals and set ourselves up for failure? The secret I have learned it to set much smaller goals that are not exciting, motivating, or inspirational, but I can actually achieve.

Great video! Such a good point that small goals aren't impressive... Which hurts so much (as a fellow 3)! It helps to have people in your life that make the mundane feel impressive. Like I am emigrating this week and my friend celebrated me after I finished packing. That was much needed! Something else that's been helping this year is extending my big goals. So instead of reaching my big dream in 1 year, I'm aiming for 5 years. This means I *have* to set smaller goals and I have to get used to savouring the smaller milestones.
But on that, I'd love to know how you celebrate your wins Daniel! This is a chronic issue for me so any ideas on celebrating small stuff would be much appreciated 😅

Hey Livia, that’s amazing that you’re moving country!! Wishing you an incredible new start to your journey!
In terms of celebrating wins, I would really recommend that book I mentioned The Gap & The Gain as it helped me greatly to see more of what I have, and how far I have progressed. Super essential for us Enneagram 3s! Keep me posted on your progress and your exciting journey! 😊🙏🏻

​@@midsonshort Thank you ✨ I've added The Gap and The Gain to my audible queue. Will report back 🙂 Also loving these videos as well as the one takes. I hope you're also enjoying making them! Take care

​@@midsonshort I know you don't love this video but I started the book! When Dan Sullivan says in the intro that "it's impossible to achieve your ideal, that's not what the ideal is for. It's a moving horizon" I almost cried 😅 I logically know that to be true but it's also heartbreaking in a way that you can never truly be your "highest self" 😢 necessary words to hear. Definitely also recommend the book to anyone else who finds this video.
