Blissful shares insights about setting flexible goals.
- "Summit Fever" is one of the consequences of setting one single big goal and can cause us to fail every day, sometimes with tragic consequences.
- Rather than goals, setting systems can work in our favor because they are bite-sized goals more easily achieved.
- Systems allow us to succeed more often.
- And, allow us to change our minds and still succeed.
