See? It’s a rabbit hole! The subjectivity of it is what drives me nuts. I’m an accountant, man. I need things black and white.
I’m curious how this whole concept fits in as well. Are people who readily meet inner and outer expectations more goal driven? See the quiz below

I took this quiz and it said
"On the cake spectrum, you are:
Fruitcake. Loaded with calories, a lousy-Christmas-gift meme, and probably capable of killing someone if you're thrown hard enough."
I didn't pay the extra $$ to find out more details--I think I've read enough about myself for the day. Introspection is hard1 -

I was just PMing a friend who said maybe we’re just content. That isn’t the opposite of being driven, its just knowing when you have enough.
I like the thought but if I’m so content, why do i fel like I should be more driven? Is that just american standards beating me down? 😅
Yes.
It could be contentment. It could be apathy. It could be that the electrician that wired you was on their last day and just forgot about that part.
Couldn’t i at least have gotten a driven electrician? Sheesh2 -

I'm a goalsetter.... I do write them down in a day planner. Some are weekly, some are monthly and then there are my long term goals. I so sometimes keep a gratitude journal of sorts, especially when I'm struggling with feeling that I haven't accomplished anything and I'm way behind where I thought I'd be at this age. It helps me to 'mentally reset' and quit comparing myself to people on a different journey than me.
June Goals - 1. Hit 140 at least once 2. Walk on my lunch break 3-4 times a week 9 (it's freakin hot) 3. Ride my horses 6 days a week 4. Schedule a date night once a week 5. Payoff $500 in credit card debt 6. Planks/pushups daily
I do read devotionals & my Bible every morning for about 30 min while drinking coffee. That's when I do the gratitude notes in my day planner. I wake up at 5:15 no matter what so that I can fit this into my schedule.

Setting goals just helps me keep focused. I set short term fitness goals every 8-12 weeks and long term fitness goals once a year. Usually my long term goal is set for my birthday every year. Sometimes I will use a intense 30 day goal to get back on track or refocus if I haven't been doing so well.0

Making goals is very personal, some people need them to do anything and everything. Some people have goals but they don't call them goals.
I've had a long term goal forever, to be fit enough to do a Sprint Triathlon. I've have other long term goals, become a healthy weight, become a healthy person.
I try to make short term goals, lose 5# a month, work out 4 days a week...
Goals don't motivate me, they are just there, so if goals do nothing for you, then let them go, don't worry about them.
If you want to have a goal, but don't like that word, use something different.

I am inherently a "goal" person. I have a number of short, mid_term and long-term goals.
My most significant long-term goal is to live independently as long as possible (I am 74, in excellent health, and have a family history of longevity). To achieve that goal, I eat a healthy diet, exercise daily, get a check-up (with full blood work) once a year and get recommended tests as recommended.
Mid -term (probably 2 years out) is to get my Gold Medal with my horse Annie. To do that, I ride a minimum of six days a week, go to the gym to continue to develop more core strength, take lessons twice a week, and read and watch instruction dressage videos.
I have many short-term goals that typically have a duration of a week or two. They include things like getting my backyard cleaned up and "groomed", decluttering the house and getting rid of everything I don't actually use, logging food and exercise in MFP daily, etc.
I find that these goals help to make sure I don't get to the end of the day/month/year having just let time go by (which I have found, is amazingly easy to do when you are retired and accountable to nobody but yourself!)2
