MISSING

Neuroscience tells us that setting goals rewires our brains. When we set a goal, we are biologically programming our brains to create new, stronger bonds between neurons that help us change and theoretically reach our goals.

Goal-setting is linked to higher motivation, self-esteem, confidence, and autonomy and impacts the ways in which the different sections of our brains communicate with one another.

Our brains' neuroplasticity, modifies, changes and adapts structure in response to external stimuli, or experiences. Once we set a goal our brain nudges us until we start working towards it.

If we don’t, we feel guilty.

And no one likes to feel guilty.
 
Most of us do not fail to reach our goals because we didn’t work smarter or harder. Most of us fail because of what is missing. The right knowledge, presented to us in the right way at the right time.
 
But as no human being gets things right all the time and our greatest lessons often come when we 'fail', what if we let go of any guilt and engage our imagination, our creativity, our joy to explore, learn and grow with no attachment to the outcome.

Then our life's goal is to simply never stop learning.
