TOPIC
Bullseye
Question: Are you keeping your goals fuzzy? When you think about the goals you want to accomplish during this season, how clear are they? How deliberate with actions are they filled with?
Process:
Specific goals make you take aim at your failures
If your goals are sharp and clear, then you know what to aim at
Your brain re-organizes around your aim—what you are looking at and focused on is what your brain will put energy and effort into
“Often people won’t specify what their goals are because they don’t like to specify conditions for failure. So if you keep yourself all vague and foggy which is real easy because that’s just a matter of not doing as well – then you don’t know when you fail.” – Jordan Peterson
