But there are limits.
If you spend time chasing impossible goals, you are just wasting energy that could be used more productively.
Noah St John, author and productivity advisor, recommends rethinking goals, and skipping those that are impossible.
Included in this is the desire to make everyone happy.
The truth is that you CANNOT make everyone else happy.
In fact, technically, you could’t “make” ANYONE else happy.
Because each of us is ultimately responsible for our own happiness or unhappiness.
This impossible goal comes into play a lot in our personal relationships.
I can hear some of you saying, “Noah, have you been following me around!?
Of course, you and I can influence otherpeople’s happiness.
But ultimately, you’re free to’t make anyone else happy.
Noah also highlights the fact that there is nothing inherently wrong with failure.
Expect to succeed at everything, and you’re almost certain to be disappointed.
