I’ve thought long and hard about this one. Because I refuse to give up on my goals and dreams. Ever.

But what happens when a dream is something I no longer want?

I also refuse to spend my precious time on this earth pursuing a dream that is no longer a dream.

So, I am officially breaking up with of one of my goals: 100k Subscribers on YouTube.

Because it dawned on me that if hit 100k on YouTube – I would be a YouTuber. And I would have to put out more videos.

I don’t want to be a YouTuber.

I want to be a coach – and I am.

I don’t want to do both.

It’s not that I don’t like making videos. I do.

It’s just that it’s not what I want to spend most of my time doing.

And if I aim for 100k on YouTube, guess what? 

I’ll most definitely be putting myself in a position where I then need to spend most of my time creating YouTube videos.

I am not “quitting” YouTube (can I even say that as someone who isn’t actually a YouTuber?).

I may still put out videos from time to time.

I will certainly still binge-watch other people’s content.

But I realize that my goal was misdirected.

There’s a litmus test you can do to see if you still want your goal:

Ask yourself, “Would I still want this goal if I didn’t have to work for it?”

If someone handed me 100k subscribers on a plate right now, I wouldn’t take it.

I don’t want the life that comes with it.

So don’t give up on your goals because they’re hard.

Break up with them because you no longer want the end result.
