The Power of Big Audacious Goals

Goals serve a purpose. And big, giant, clearly-out-of-our-comfort-zone dream goals?   These ones in particular hold immense potential.  Whether it's starting a business, tripling your income, or hiking 25 miles in a day, these big audacious goals come with the promise of big payoffs. Pursuing these goals is not just about achieving them; it’s also about the person you become in the process.

Why set the big goals?

The Obvious Reason: Achieving What You Want

We set big goals because we want to achieve and have the things we desire. These goals drive us to reach higher, work harder, and often achieve what we set out to achieve. The satisfaction of accomplishing something significant is undeniable and incredibly rewarding. Goals help us do and accomplish the things, have what we want to have, be who we want to be, and experience what we want to experience.

The Deeper Reason: Personal Transformation

But here's where it gets even more interesting. Setting and pursuing big goals isn't just about the end result—it's about the learning, becoming, and transformation that happens along the way.

Imagine you set a goal to triple your income. On the surface, it's about the financial reward. But as you work towards this goal, you begin to think and act like someone who earns three times your current income. You develop new skills, adopt better habits, and cultivate a mindset geared towards growth. You become more creative, disciplined, and resilient.

Or consider setting a goal to hike 25 miles in a day. It's not just about completing the hike—it's about becoming the person who has the discipline, endurance, and consistency to achieve such a feat. In the process, you learn about your physical and mental boundaries and discover new strengths, capabilities, and how to work through obstacles and setbacks.

Embrace the Journey

Big audacious goals are powerful because they push us out of our comfort zones and challenge our identities and limits. The journey towards these goals is where the real growth happens. It's about embracing the process, celebrating the small victories, and recognizing the personal transformation you undergo.

As you set your next big goal, remember to focus not just on the achievement but on the journey and the person you become. In many ways, it doesn’t much matter whether you achieve the goal itself – it’s becoming more and more the person who thinks and acts like someone who achieves meaningful things.
