293: Big Goals

And conversely, if you know you want to grow in some way, setting an audacious goal in that direction may be a good way to force the other smaller changes you want to make but that are less sexy to focus on.

The questions highly ambitious goals force you to ask, and the tradeoffs they force you to make, might not guarantee you hit them, but they'll definitely push you further than if you had set modest ones.

Goals are tools to shape who you become, and if you don't set sufficiently ambitious ones, you're unlikely to grow. 

So one thing I'm thinking about with my yearly round of goal setting is: what large goals can I set that will force me to change my life in an interesting way?
