The best periods of my life were the ones in which I had one overriding life goal — be it cracking a big exam or building a new product for HabitStrong (my startup).
A singular goal that you really, badly, desperately want to accomplish, gives you three superpowers:
- Focus: Not getting distracted by random things.
- Drive: Getting up every day, raring to attack.
- Resilience: Not giving up despite setbacks.
If you have these three, what else do you need?
So if you are feeling lost or unmotivated, find that singular goal — find the one thing you would die to accomplish in the next 6-12 months.
Once you find it, very little can stop you.
While nobody can guarantee success, I can guarantee that you will feel fulfilled. Isn’t that itself huge?
