Progress feels good. It re-affirms our ability, identity, role.

We should be sure we are measuring the right thing when looking for that progress or lack thereof.

In order to measure correctly, we must know where we are going. What the target is.

Goals are the heart of progress. Without a goal in mind, how do we know if there is progress?

Sure we can make a bunch of corporate or business goals with measurable outcomes, measurements taken each quarter… At certain times, these are helpful.

More importantly we should each have plans, goals, projected trajectories for ourselves as humans. If we can call out what we are shooting for and keep ourselves accountable for that, the group will benefit. We will benefit.

Where are you lacking motivation? Maybe that is an area for a new goal.

Where do you keep feeling let down? Maybe that is an area for a better goal.

Where do you feel accomplished/energized? Maybe that is an area with a goal that is working.

There are times it is great to just go for a drive without a place to go. That can get frustrating if it is all we do. Often we need a destination.

Where can you call out your destination?
