Why Your Goal May Need a Goal-Check
I never figured this out until now, and it’s surprising! I reflected on my 2024 goals list, and guess what? I achieved none of them. Crazy, right? But what’s even crazier is how much I LEARNED. That’s why I’m writing this—to show you how to hack your brain into reaching a goal that you might not have even realized you had.
Why the Classic Method Doesn’t Work
It’s 2025. Time to set your New Year’s resolutions. We all do this because we like the idea of starting fresh. A new year, a new week, a new day—it feels like the perfect time to take on the world.
But here’s the truth: often, when it’s time to assess our progress, we realize we’re way behind. Maybe we blame lack of time, bad moods, or not having enough information to start. But let’s be honest with ourselves—those aren’t the real reasons. It’s usually about mismanaging time, procrastinating, or jumping into things without proper research or strategy.
Here’s the thing: it’s not time, or people, or the weather holding you back—it’s YOU. So start now.
Trick Your Brain Into Reaching Your Goals
You’ll love this part. Have you ever noticed how some activities make you learn or achieve something almost accidentally? Terms like "gamified learning" or "Problem-Based learning" weren’t created just because they sound cool. They’re designed to trick your brain into achieving something important by tying it to something fun.
That’s what I call the “Brain Maneuver.”
Let me give you an example. Like many non-native English speakers, I didn’t learn English in a classroom—I learned it by watching Hollywood movies. I didn’t watch them to learn the language; I watched them to enjoy action-packed stories and drama. But over time, understanding the language became a necessity to enjoy the content.
It’s the same thing with language centers that organize summer camps in English-speaking countries. Their focus isn’t on formal teaching—it’s on creating an enjoyable experience where learning becomes a byproduct.
So, if you want to reach your goals, don’t make them the main pursuit. Find something you enjoy, and let your goals become a natural part of that process.
There’s No Timeline, Only Actions
Time flies—everyone knows that. But what we often forget is that everyone has their own timeline. Some people reach their goals early; others take longer. And that’s okay.
Think about how society pressures us to follow a standard timeline:

Finish high school at 17 > Graduate college by 22 > Work in a corporate job for
a few years > Get married at 27 > Have kids at 31 > Retire at 65…
Sound familiar? It’s the typical life milestones we’ve all been taught to aim for.
But here’s the truth: life doesn’t follow a script. Your journey is unique, and success doesn’t come from meeting deadlines—it comes from the actions you take every day.
