Well, hello there. It's Morgan here and welcome to today's episode. Today we're going to be talking

about what do you do when setting goals does not work for you or it isn't working right now or

anymore. This is something that I have personally dealt with in my own life and have wrestled

with. And I just want to invite

you to look at this idea of setting goals, creating goals, making goals just for a little while here.

So we're going to look at the word goal. Let's start with that. One of the definitions of goal,

according to Mario Webster, is the

end toward which effort is directed. And actually, I'm going to read a couple more definitions

here. And this is also Marion Webster, an area or object toward which players in various games

attempt to advance a ball or puck puck and usually through or into which it

must go to score points. The act or action of causing a ball or puck to go through or into such a goal.

So those are actually two separate definitions. A lot of balls and pucks discussed here, obviously. And the reason why I read them this way and even my posture just changes when I read a lot of these definitions of these words to get used a lot like goals because they're so official sounding. So that's why I read them that way. It's fascinating to me

because these are the things that show up if you're if you're wanting to learn more about goals.

This is topfold of Google information here. And I'll read one more definition. It's the terminal

point of a race.

And that definition in particular is according to Mary Webster.

It was the one that was associated with the word goal being used in the year 1531 as one of the first times they saw the word in print.

So this is just English language stuff. And what does all that have to do with setting goals?

And what I find very fascinating about this and what intrigues me about it,

even in my own life and why I spend a lot of time reading definitions is because even though

we adapt a lot of these definitions and they take on

metaphorical use in our daily life, the original meaning of them can still drive a lot of the way
