Day 2: Reaction and Damage – Define your outcome, before

Begin by defining your ‘outcome’. Exactly how large or how broad do these outcomes need to be when I am developing and starting a goal that I want? Does this goal support my personal values and purpose? Will this outcome make me stronger, wiser, or more fulfilled? Is this for validation—or is it something I truly want to become or experience? In other words, is it for me?

Reflect on the growth you want - is it for me or is it for someone else? If for me, will it push me - mentally, emotionally, physically, or spiritually? Will it add value to your life, or is it something you are looking to place on your resume? Will the goal or outcome you are seeking leave you proud of how you got there, not just happy that you arrived? If you are not challenging yourself, then what is the point? Do you just want to be occupied, and not accomplish anything, or can you look at yourself and say, “I want something that is going to pain me as I grow”. I want to see if there are any boundaries or limits that I can’t reach. Discomfort means growth, complacency means being settled!

Push yourself to any known limits, then guess what, you now have new boundaries waiting to challenge you!
