Very interesting thought and suggestion! 🤔 So, instead of setting a goal to gain or lose a specific amount of weight (through gym workouts), you could have a vision of achieving a healthy, toned body. Right?

Another example: Instead of setting a goal to earn a specific amount of money by the end of the year, you could have a vision of achieving financial wealth or independence as quickly as possible.

What do you think?💭

Absolutely! Or perhaps the vision of a healthy lifestyle where a toned, healthy body is simply a byproduct.

As for the vision of financial wealth and independence, I also agree. But it doesn’t necessarily need to be framed as achieving it "as quickly as possible," as that can create unnecessary urgency and pressure. I believe that having a clear vision of financial wealth/independence will naturally drive you to act with focus and efficiency, without the need for added stress :)

Thank you for sharing your insights! 😊

I totally agree. 🤔 On one hand, I wanted to ask you—what if someone has a specific vision they want to achieve by the end of the year? But on the other hand, you’ve already given me the answer by mentioning the importance of avoiding unnecessary urgency and pressure. Hm… sometimes letting go isn’t as easy as it seems! 😅

They are far more likely to achieve their vision by the end of the year if they let go of the pressure to meet that exact deadline.

Focusing too much on the timeframe shifts attention to the stress of the deadline rather than the vision itself. This stress can quickly become overwhelming, causing them to lose sight of the actionable steps required to succeed. And instead of driving progress, the stress becomes a distraction, pulling them further away from their goal.

Letting go is never easy. The idea is simple but the execution is often much harder 😅

i have the same thought too, let us not be bounded by the goals we set for ourselves, and be open to uncertainty and possibilities.

Pretty interesting how we actually limit ourselves with those goals, isn’t it?
