I'm joining this conversation only a few months late, but I <em>have to</em> join it because you've stated so well what I've been saying for years now. Yes, indeed. Goals are just a way to get grouchy about what you don't have. And wanting something other than what you have right now is an absolute 100% guaranteed way to be miserable, suffering, struggling. Thank you! Woohoo!

Thank you!

The whole goal-driven concept was what made me dissolve connections with the coaching fraternity some 3 years ago. Thanks Steve - to actually see what I feel expressed so succinctly has boosted my confidence no end. Well hooray and thank goodness that someone agrees with me on ‘goal setting’!
