This is the first text talking about goals I’ve read that meaningfully engages with “but what if you were (partially) wrong about what you want” instead of simply glorifying “outcome fixation”. This seems like a major missing piece in most advice about goals. That the most important thing about your goals is that they’re actually what you want. And discovering that may not be the case is a valid reason to tap the brakes and re-evaluate.
