“What are your goals?”
“What are your dreams?”
Regardless of what stage of life you’re in, these are two questions that raise my hackles (if indeed I had any).
Goals: Is it a number? It is a place? Is it a destination?
Dreams: Is it real? Is it attainable? Does it have depth or merely a passing thought?
Instead, I think the appropriate question is: What do you truly care about and why?
As we live along the continuum of our life journey, I use that question to propel me forward. I need to care about something enough to give it my attention and apply effort.
Words are important. How we frame our ideas can be central to their attainment.
