The Myth of SMART Goals

• Goals that are too achievable and realistic can prevent you from taking bold action. People need challenges to stay motivated. "Lean away from the probability and into the possibility of life. This is how we raise the bar and achieve success." Dr. Srini Pillay
• Being too specific can set you up for not meeting your expectations. Sometimes creating a window is more realistic. 
• A time goal doesn't always allow for other obligations. Life is full of things you need to do and roles you play, not just one task.
• You need to account for glitches. Things very often don't go smoothly, and you need to figure out what will happen to keep you from being discouraged. We need our goals to be flexible!
• This method doesn't often work in matters of personal growth, which is on a continuum.
• There is no mention of how the goal will be achieved.
• It can be stressful due to the restrictions involved. Right?!
