To be successful, ditch your goals. Say what? Yes, you heard that right. Ditch your goals. We’ve been taught to set goals anytime we want to achieve anything. They should be SMART: specific, measurable, actionable, realistic, and time sensitive. But the motivational gurus who’ve taught us this didn’t necessarily take into account the psychology involved in personal growth and achievement. The problem with traditional goal-setting is that it can be a stressful and disheartening experienc...| Whole Life Challenge

The Taj Mahal sat across the river from us, bustling with lines of people in the setting sun.
