'No, where the author goes wrong is believing that unmet goals == failure. The best thing to do is not drop your goals, but stop labeling yourself a failure, blaming yourself, etc... when you miss them. Sure, the only one who can "own up" to that missed goal is you, but leave it at that and don't make it a cycle of negativity.' Exactly. I've set out to accomplish a great many things, and have, by all accounts, failed at most of them. However, while I may have missed may goals, these pursuits lead me to accomplish other things. Having goals is mind hack to get you off your ass and into motion, which about the only way anything happens, planned or not.
