This is flawed!

So we're almost 2 months in on this journey, and I've come to one clear conclusion. This is FLAWED. Some goals seem like a good idea at the time, but when it comes down to it, I find that a trial period should have been applied to explore possibilities and probabilities of some goals. Things like physical limitation, health limitations can ( Read more... )

Oh Jon, people could say that forever about goals. Ppl need to stop thinking about the so-called competition side of this and realize that these are your goals; if you end up not being able to do one but you know the reason why and it's a valid reason, then there's nothing wrong and it's fine.

No that's not what I'm trying to say, I'm not being competitive, I'm just saying that if goals aren't explored beforehand, then some of them are useless and are a waste of space. Like if I made a goal to become a contortionist before doing enough research to know what it takes to be a contortionist, no amount of training or stretching will help you achieve the genetic flexibility needed and it's a useless unattainable goal, which is totally not the point of this completing goals business. I'd rather have a list of 101 attainable goals rather than a list of mostly attainable goals.

I'm sorry I didn't sign it; I was in a hurry since I was on Ji's compie. (Also, when you're replying to a specific comment, hit Reply underneath the comment.)

I know you're not going at the competitiveness of it, but I'm guessing for at least one or two people it's at the back of their minds. As for the contortionist example, yeah you should've researched before you put it down as a goal. Goal-setting is a very important skill.
