The end of my big dreaming days came when I got my PhD. If I had continued along a traditional career path, I’d probably have had goals like wanting to make tenure track, be a full professor, win some sort of award or other.

But now? I can’t even think of any extravagant goals that I might want to achieve. I’m happy with my life the way it is. I’m striving but not killing myself doing it. Does that make me a loser?

What are your big goals?

Consider the people around you – your family members, relatives, friends and colleagues. You’ll probably notice that most of them have never really failed in their attempts to achieve big goals.
That is because most people do not even have a habit of attempting to achieve big goals.
Ask yourself – currently, what are your five biggest goals?
What – you don’t know what to write? You need to think about it for a few minutes? Aha, this shows that you didn’t even have any big goals. If you don’t instantly know what your biggest goals are, then you can’t honestly say that you have any big goals.
