Your purpose is like the compass guiding you through life, while your goals are the individual steps that move you in the direction of that greater purpose.

When you have a clear sense of purpose, your goals become more than just tasks to check off—they become meaningful, connected actions that align with your bigger vision.

The good news is, there’s no one “right” goal to choose. But there is a way to figure out what makes the most sense for you, right now.

Let’s walk through it together.

When goal setting doesn’t seem to be working, it’s usually not because you’re doing something wrong—it’s because something about the goal, the timing, or the approach needs adjusting. Let’s talk about what to do when you feel like you’ve hit a wall.

Goals, when done well, give your desires a shape. They create a sense of focus. They help you notice progress, even when it’s incremental. And—maybe most importantly—they help you make choices about how to spend your time, rather than letting the demands of the day make those choices for you.

As you close out this year, remember: every effort, no matter how small, contributes to the beautiful mosaic of your life. Take a moment to honor it—you deserve it.
