I never used to be a huge fan of goals. They just seemed a bit pointless compared to the value of a robust system. But over the past year speaking to different experts, I've come to realise that there may be more to this whole goal thing than I previously thought.

Improvements are only temporary until they become part of who you are. -The goal is not to read a book, the goal is to become a reader. -The goal is not to run a marathon, the goal is to become a runner. -The goal is not to learn an instrument, the goal is to become a musician. This year, focus on the identity you want to build. Happy new year!!!

This is a question anyone who's serious about Buddhism has to wrestle with - how do I reconcile wanting and striving to reach (enlightenment, in this case) while not desiring. The best answer I've ever come up with is analogous to climbing a set of stairs, where each step you're on has to be solid and stable in order to be used as a stepping off point - that is too say, you can't move forward from where you are until you're happy (and the step is strong) where you are.

@ntso77 3 года назад

This poem was written in 1911 and has been translated into many languages since then. Its lyric words and message are touching. As you set out for Ithaka hope the voyage is a long one, full of adventure, full of discovery. Laistrygonians and Cyclops, angry Poseidon- don't be afraid of them: you'll never find things like that on your way as long as you keep your thoughts raised high, as long as a rare excitement stirs your spirit and your body. Laistrygonians and Cyclops, wild Poseidon- you won't encounter them unless you bring them along inside your soul, unless your soul sets them up in front of you. May there be many a summer morning when, with what pleasure, what joy, you come into harbors seen for the first time; may you stop at Phoenician trading stations to buy fine things, mother of pearl and coral, amber and ebony, the sensual perfume of every kind- as many sensual perfumes as you can; and may you visit many Egyptian cities to gather stores of knowledge from their scholars. Keep Ithaka always in your mind. Arriving there is what you are destined for. But do not hurry the journey at all. Better if it lasts for years, so you are old by the time you reach the island, wealthy with all you have gained on the way, not expecting Ithaka to make you rich. Ithaka gave you a marvelous journey. Without her, you would not have set out. She has nothing left to give you now. And if you find her poor, Ithaka won't have fooled you. Wise as you will have become, so full of experience, you will have understood by then what these Ithakas mean. (Poem Ithaca by Constantine Cavafy) source: www.greeka.com/ionian/ithaca/about/poem/

@abdul391_ 3 года назад

My takeaways: Forget about goals, focus on the system of getting there. 1- Goals make you to focus on the destination rather than the journey/process. 2- Goals restrict our happiness, once i reach that goal then i will be happy. How to actually think about the goals: 1- The goal is the compass. 2- A goal doesn't have to be a traditional 'smart' goal. 3- Goals don't have to make you unhappy (measure the gain, not the gap). 4- Goals give you purpose. Yin and Yang: 1- A balance between self improvement and self acceptance. 2- It's all about navigating the balance between self improvement and self acceptance rather than solve this equation.

I've spent ages trying to figure out how to reconcile being happy with how I am now whilst also being motivated to improve so it's really reassuring to hear you talk about it!! I got around it in a similar way to what you mentioned, whereby I try to be happy that my current state of existence is the best it can be (by virtue of the fact that I can't change myself at this precise moment and because, in principle, I've been making goals to improve myself to reach this current state) whilst also accepting that I can make things even better. Not sure if that makes sense but I'd be keen to hear if anyone else has a different approach for dealing with that sort of living in the present/goal setting dissonance!!

You also inspired me to finally start learning to play the piano while also focusing on my studies, and it feels awesome to play the piano during my practice sessions 🎹 thanks so much for the inspiration!! Here's to 2021, may we all have a great year ahead 🎆 Edit: okay, so I just watched the whole video and honestly this is literally my *exact* philosophy for 2021. Goals + systems. And it's crazy to me how during the last 2-3 months of 2020, I was also able to strike a balance between self improvement and self acceptance. In the past, when I would be working towards improving myself, I would honestly dislike myself a lot in the present, and I always wondered - "should I accept myself or improve myself?" And during the end of 2020, I finally reconciled self improvement & self acceptance. I can be happy with who I am right now, but I can also do things to improve at the same time. It's honestly a lot more fun with this yin and yang ☯️ mindset. I highly recommend 10/10. Also, happy new year Ali! May 2021 be a great year for us all

Amazing! This was my biggest takeaway: We do not have to choose between self-acceptance and self-improvement, the two can co-exist in harmony. You can look back on where you were 3 months ago, a year ago, or 5 years ago and be proud of how far you have come and fully accept yourself for where you are now and you can also look forward to identify where you want to be and what you need to do to get there. Recognizing your achievement and growth fuels you with the motivation to keep pushing forward on the infinite journey of self-improvement.

So important to only compare your current self to your past self. Sometimes we get overwhelmed by how “far” we are from our goal, that we need to look back to see how much progress we’ve actually made.

"measure the gain not the gap" that's such a good reminder for people to stop comparing themselves to others but rather just your present self to your past self. Because once you start comparing yourself to others in one thing you just go down this rabbit hole of comparing everything and end up being unhappy and unmotivated to thrive to be better for yourself. Happy new year everyone!
