  • nywhere you want to go, you've got to do the same thing.

          

    However, the problem with goal-setting for skeptics is presentation.
  • feeling like a huge dork for even thinking about writing down one's personal goals is natural. Culturally, it's just not done
  • With so many things out there you could do, so much greener grass over the fence taunting you, it feels almost impossible to commit.
  • Choosing one thing really means you're not choosing a million others
  • Then there's the ever-pleasant fear of failure
  • Why do today what you can do tomorrow
  • The sucky truth is that in between the cradle and grave, we've only got so many days on this planet, and dealing that reality means facing your mortality

  • Goal Setting for Skeptics
  • Life goals are like religious views, salary, age, and weight—highly personal, rarely discussed, and for the ambitious and pie-in-the-sky among us, even embarrassing.
  • the paradox of choice. In a media-saturated world where you see and hear about so many people doing so much interesting stuff day in and day out, it's even more difficult to settle down on one pursuit than it was 10 to 20 years ago, when people simply didn't have as many options.
  • Choosing one thing really means you're not choosing a million others
  • You can do anything if you put your mind to it, so the saying goes. Following that line of thinking, trying your best and failing means you're broken, weak, dumb, or hopeless.
