Episode 3317:

Achieving goals often becomes a struggle because people misunderstand the nature of time, leading to incorrect goal-setting. Steve Pavlina argues that goals should enhance your present reality rather than serve as tools to control the future, as time is not a resource you can spend. By focusing on how a goal positively impacts your current life, you can set goals that motivate you rather than overwhelm you.

Quotes to ponder:

"Time is not a resource. You cannot spend time. Time spends itself."

"Set goals that yield a positive effect on your life whenever you think about them, long before the final outcome is actually achieved."

"You can’t control the passage of time, but you can control your present moment focus."
