Fake goal? Real goal?

Fake goal? Real goal?

Yesterday I spent 5 hours in A+E waiting to see if my best mate was ok.

I hadn’t slept for 24 hours.

I had eaten some raw carrot, radish and celery.

The glass window in the waiting room had no blinds.

The sunlight hit my face relentlessly.

Then I got my once a year migraine.

Flashing lights- la la la.

But I said to myself, I just couldn’t have a migraine right now.

So I went and sat in my car for 5 minutes.

Did some Wim Hoff breathing, and it went.

And I went back and sat in the waiting room.

The whole day had got me thinking about what was important and what wasn’t:


Seem like real goals until you get them

Bigger house

Second-home

Faster car

More followers than…

Earning more than….

Being C.E.O.


Real goals

In control of your time

Joy

Health

Friendships

Trust

Work that gives you meaning
