True story. I'm a professional goal setter. I'm kind of a big deal.
In all seriousness, I need to take bigger risks and set bigger goals. I know that. I need to stretch. But in 2018, I set out to read 24 books in 2018. Simple task. Not easy. And I failed. I didn't get it done. If you look closer, my goal for 2017 was to finish 12. In 2018, my official count is 23. Here's my encouragement: Even when I fail, I win. My failure turned out to nearly double my progress. “The cure for the fear of failure isn’t success.
