Have you ever set/pursued real life goals? Not joke ones or fakes you make up for a workshop exercise.
I haven’t. I’ve only:
a) picked among opportunities (50%)
b) stirred the pot to create new opportunities (30%)
c) allowed random play to snowball into bigger thing (20%)

And not script-template goals like “find a romantic partner” or “finish college” that basically everybody pursues. Real ones that, if pursued either successfully or not, would be your unique story.

I’m very suspicious of people who claim to be pursuing goals. Elon Musk is a rare example of someone who auditably declares and pursues goals in public.

I'm pursuing the goal of finding and fixing Leaks, cracks, and Holes better, faster, cleaner, and cheaper.
Literally in the process of starting a guild.
