Let's talk about goals. They are like your own personal wishes for the future—things you want to achieve because they mean a lot to you. But reaching a goal isn't always as easy as just wanting it. Sometimes we start strong but then lose interest, or life gets in the way, and we end up giving up completely.

That's what we call "ghosting" our goals. But don't worry, this happens to a lot of us, and it's not your fault.

why goals can be tricky

Have you ever felt let down when your hard work doesn't seem to be paying off as fast as you hoped? That's normal - some call it the "valley of disappointment," others call it the plateau of latent potential, and it's the gap between what you think should happen and what actually happens. And we're more likely to enter the valley of disappointment if we're too focused on the end result.

The thing about the valley of disappointment is that, as soon as you've hit it, you're usually only a few steps away from seeing the payoff of all of your hard work.

But continuing to work through it even though you're not seeing the results can be pretty frustrating and can make you want to give up. And that's normal.

That's why focusing on the process, or the "system," is important. Instead of just trying to win once, we should concentrate on getting just a little better each day.
