Set Your Goals in the Heat of the Moment

When you do something in the heat of the moment, you do it without thinking.

Usually, this is described as a bad thing. Yet when you’re setting goals, you don’t want to be thinking, you want to be feeling. Our brains try to rationalize things. They convince us there is no way that we are good enough/smart enough/good looking enough/talented enough to pursue that goal. But when you get into the heat of the moment, and you’re high on life, that is the best possible time to set a goal.

That feeling of being fully alive, passionate, and knowing your truth. That feeling when your full potential is so close you can taste it. That’s the best time to set goals. Not when you’re feeling a 4/10 happy, with a “realistic” view of the world.

Set your goals from your heart, in the heat of the moment when you’re feeling invincible and life feels full of possibility. Then later, your 4/10 self gets to rise to the challenge.
