What if you were never meant to have achievable goals?

I rarely achieve the goals I set.

In fact, I went a long time without even setting goals.

Because I kept avoiding the work it took to reach them.

At least, so I thought. 

I eventually realised that the goals I was setting were not exciting enough. That’s why I wasn’t doing much to achieve them.

Soon, I started having fun with goals.

I started writing down goals that were way more far out.

Goals most people would describe as ‘ridiculous.’

But it’s the ridiculous, the unreasonable and the unattainable that get me excited. 

I can’t help it. 

Maybe I’m weird.

I set crazy goals like:

• Write 50 non-fiction books in the next 10 years

• Create a full graphic novel from scratch

• Develop an off-grid cabin in Estonia on 100 acres with an onsen and art studio.

• Visit 100 countries in my lifetime.

• Climb a mountain over 20,000 feet.

• etc.

I write goals, not to be rational anymore. 

I have my daily system — the things I stay consistent with, like writing 1200 words or more, sharing my email newsletter, walking 7,000 steps, etc.

Those keep me in check and keep the results flowing.

But I regularly rewrite my MANIACAL goals to stay excited and buzzed about what’s possible.

I often fall short of these, but that’s fine because they push me further than the ‘reasonable’ ones.

I have a question for you today:

If there was one dream that could come true for you in 2026, what would that be?
