Shoot for the Moon...

You know the saying – “Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you’ll land among the stars.”

Each time I read or hear it, I’m equally struck by two distinct thoughts:

1.?????? Yes! We should create bold and aggressive goals. Even if we fall a little short of them, we’ll have achieved something incredible.

2.?????? The saying doesn’t seem to make much sense! Granted, I have a limited understanding of astronomy. However, I can confidently say that the moon is closer to Earth than the stars!

Setting bold goals empowers us to reach farther than we often believe we can go. Creating action plans to achieve those goals motivates us and provides a sense of purpose in our day-to-day activities as we pursue our bold goals. Breaking our goals into multiple milestones gives us a reason to celebrate as those touchpoints are achieved and crossed off the list.

Recently, I’ve come to understand that we can feel empowered and motivated simply by pursuing a bold and aggressive goal. We might not have to reach the ultimate height of the pinnacle to feel that sense of purpose. Joy and confidence can be gained by the pursuit and process.

This demonstrates that perfection is not the ultimate destination. To borrow from another saying – progress over perfection – we can make sweeping strides toward our goals and see marked progress in our intended transformation.

What are you shooting for? Is it time to take the significant first step? I’m here when you’re ready to do so.

Cheers!
