Goals

We pulled off a big event yesterday. After it, the team circled up, shook hands and slapped backs. It’s one of the great feelings in life.

As I turned away to pack up, someone from the crowd tapped me on the shoulder. “That was pretty impressive. But, weren’t you afraid you’d bomb?” Easy to see why he hadn’t been in our circle.

There’s less risk in setting your goals high and falling short than setting them low and reaching them. In the former, you usually still accomplish something. In the latter, you merely validate the low expectations of yourself.
