Do you set personal goals for yourself?

I have come to disdain goal setting, at least putting it down in writing. Because I never meet my goals completely, and then I feel bad. And I don’t want to feel bad.

So my new unwritten goal is to never write down goals. Nor really even set them up in my mind, because I’ll get sidetracked. Or disinterested in truly meeting that goal. Why think of goals to meet or reach when I don’t want to put in the effort.

Better, I think, to feel good about achievements as they come, and put my thoughts and energy into what is happening in the NOW.
