That means four minutes and 40 seconds. I&#8217;ve got until March, my 50th birthday.</p><p>Today was a checkpoint. My target was 6:28. I ran 6:39. Missed it by 11 seconds. And I was gutted.</p><p>Here&#8217;s what I realized:</p><ul><li><p>I didn&#8217;t put in enough miles. Arrogance.</p></li><li><p>I didn&#8217;t fuel properly. Arrogance.</p></li><li><p>And when it hurt, I slowed down. Again&#8230; arrogance.</p></li></ul><p>In other words, I got the result I deserved.</p><p>But here&#8217;s the thing. The temptation when you miss a goal is to make the next one easier. Lower the bar. Tell yourself a nice story. I&#8217;m not doing that. Next month, my target is 6:00 flat. Harder, not easier.</p><p>Why? Because small goals don&#8217;t change your life. Boring goals don&#8217;t inspire you. And the only way I&#8217;m going to get to 4:40 in March is if I keep raising the standard, not lowering it.</p><p>I share this not because my 1500m matters to you. But because the way we process disappointment <em>does</em>.</p><p>So if you&#8217;ve missed a goal recently, ask yourself: did you set it small enough to be boring? Or big enough to actually matter?</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.threewordgoals.com/p/the-3-word-goals-intensive&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Register for the 3-Word Goal Intensive&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.threewordgoals.com/p/the-3-word-goals-intensive"><span>Register for the 3-Word Goal Intensive</span></a></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><div><hr></div>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Stop Wasting Time.

People will say, <em>&#8220;But your goals have to be attainable, right?&#8221;</em></p><p>And the thing that makes a goal attainable is not the enormity of the goal. Every now and then, someone will pull out a goal that looks utterly unrealistic. But even then, there&#8217;s always a way of finding your path to it.</p><p>The most important thing is time. Do you give yourself enough time? Just enough time to reach that goal?</p><p>If it&#8217;s too short of a timeframe, then it&#8217;s just brutal and mean to try and achieve it.<br>If I decided that I wanted to become the world&#8217;s biggest bodybuilder in one week&#8230; it&#8217;s not the fact that I want to become the world&#8217;s biggest bodybuilder that&#8217;s unrealistic, it&#8217;s that I want to do it in a week.</p><p>If instead you said, <em>&#8220;I want to become one of the world&#8217;s best bodybuilders in five years,&#8221;</em> hey, let&#8217;s create a plan, create a program, and go after it.</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.threewordgoals.com/p/the-3-word-goals-intensive&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Get help with your Goals&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.threewordgoals.com/p/the-3-word-goals-intensive"><span>Get help with your Goals</span></a></p><div><hr></div><p>Time is your greatest asset.<br>But it&#8217;s also your greatest liability.</p><p>Because you only have so much of it. And every day, every week, every month, every year that you spend not chasing your goals? That&#8217;s a wasted opportunity.</p><p>Your life is so precious. It&#8217;s such a gift to be able to live and breathe and explore and love, to connect, achieve, build, create, and do amazing things.</p><p>No matter your current situation, being alive is a great gift. Even being able to taste some food, breathe fresh air, feel a hand on your hand, or write a poem that expresses how you feel, good or bad, is an incredible gift.</p><p>Any moment spent not living is a wasted moment. Any moment spent stuck in the drudgery or just trying to get by is a wasted moment.</p><p>And for the longest time, the reason I didn&#8217;t chase some of my goals was that I had young children or I didn&#8217;t have enough time. But that was all bullshit.</p><p>It was lies.<br>And just because you believe a lie doesn&#8217;t mean it&#8217;s true.</p><p>In fact, a lie that&#8217;s believed is worse than a lie that isn&#8217;t, because a believed lie has power.</p><div><hr></div><p>What I&#8217;ve discovered is this:</p><p>The very best thing you can do for those closest to you, the very best thing you can do for a world in chaos, the very best thing you can do is pursue your goals and the life you want with 100% determination, joy, and life.</p><p>Because when you do, others around you are inspired. Others grab hold of that joy. Others grab hold of that determination. And suddenly, you&#8217;re creating a world full of people around you who are also going after their goals.</p><div><hr></div><p>That&#8217;s the power of <strong>3-Word Goals.</strong></p><p>This system we&#8217;ve set up keeps you connected to your goals in a way you cannot forget. And the reason most people fail at their goals isn&#8217;t a lack of motivation or determination, and it&#8217;s not because the goal is unattainable.</p><p>It&#8217;s because they lack <strong>clarity.</strong></p><p>They&#8217;re not absolutely sure what their goal is. They&#8217;re not absolutely sure of the steps they need to take. And when there&#8217;s an absence of clarity, we get distracted.</p><div><hr></div><p>So here&#8217;s what we do with 3-Word Goals:<br>We create them across six or seven dimensions &#8212; physical body, financial life, reputation, relationships, fun, creativity, and business.</p><p>And yes, sometimes those goals compete. That&#8217;s why people say, <em>&#8220;I don&#8217;t have time.&#8221;</em></p><p>But that&#8217;s not the truth. They just don&#8217;t realize how to integrate their goals.</p><p>For me, one goal is to be a <strong>Fully Alive Dad.</strong><br>Another goal is to be the <strong>Fittest I&#8217;ve Ever Been at 50.</strong></p><p>How do I marry those two? When my kids need me, but my body must work out?<br>I communicate. I set clear boundaries. I tell them, <em>&#8220;This is what Dad&#8217;s doing now, and here&#8217;s why.&#8221;</em></p><p>That&#8217;s the beautiful tension &#8212; the competition between goals. That&#8217;s where we get to choose and design our day based on the life we want to build.</p><div><hr></div><p>When you have clarity, and when you have flexibility, you can live this way. You can move pieces around. You can still fight for your right to live the biggest and best life.</p><p>And you&#8217;re not fighting other people. You&#8217;re fighting your own choices, your own bad thoughts, your own disillusionment.</p><p>That&#8217;s the power of what we&#8217;ve created.</p><div><hr></div><p>I&#8217;ll be honest: the AI helps. It makes it simpler.<br>But you can do it without the AI, too.</p><p>I am clearer, more certain, and more sure about my future than I&#8217;ve ever been in my life. And it&#8217;s all down to 3-Word Goals.</p><p>And guess what? Every day I use the system, I get clearer. I get more certain. I get more sure.</p><p>And I get closer to being the human being Geoff was designed to be.</p><p>And I want you to get closer to being the human being you were designed to be.</p><p>Full of life.<br>Full of joy.<br>Full of laughter.<br>Full of kindness.</p><p>Nothing in the outside world has the right to stop you from being you &#8212; and from going after the life that you want.</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.threewordgoals.com/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Share Three Word Goals&#8482;&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.threewordgoals.com/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share"><span>Share Three Word Goals&#8482;</span></a></p><div><hr></div><p>That&#8217;s my encouragement today.</p><p>If this makes sense, type <strong>Makes Sense</strong>.<br>If this is interesting to you, type <strong>Interesting.</strong><br>And if you&#8217;re ready to build your goals with me, type <strong>Goals.</strong></p><p>Because together, we must be the people who go after our dreams.</p><p>This is the fuel in my engine.

They never find out just how close they were to succeeding, and I want to tell you how you can avoid it if I were able to draw in this Facebook Live. I would draw success in two different ways.</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.threewordgoals.com/p/the-3-word-goals-intensive&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Join our 3 Word Goal Intensive&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:&quot;button-wrapper&quot;}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary button-wrapper" href="https://www.threewordgoals.com/p/the-3-word-goals-intensive"><span>Join our 3 Word Goal Intensive</span></a></p><p>The first way I would draw it is I would say, this is your starting point here, and this is where you want to be up here.</p><p>And we'll draw it linear almost, but a series of steps. And the reason people give up. They may make the first two steps and then that third step feels like a big jump, whatever it is, the way they feel like they need to show up to the world, the thing they need to overcome to get to that level of success, the step is too high and they feel like, fuck, I can't do it.</p><p>I've tried before and I keep failing. I gotta give up. And so they give up, and it's because you're seeing success as a linear process from point A to point C, if you like, with a few steps in between. And because you see it that way, when it gets hard, you feel I've been here before and I just can't break through and so I'm screwed.</p><p>If this makes sense, please put 'making sense' in the comments below. The way that success would be drawn out is more like a target right in the middle here, and you are starting at the top here or down the bottom here, off to the side. It doesn't matter. And you are circling the target.</p><p>You're circling the target, and you're circles are getting closer and closer and closer and closer to the target. Sometimes they're almost on the same line. It feels so familiar. The reason is. That success is this way, is that success is a series of iterations, repeatable behaviors performed over and over again with lots and lots of failure.</p><p>And when you come back around to this point of the circle, it feels familiar. It feels the same, but familiar is not the same as identical when you get to this point right here. You've never been to this moment, at this point in your life, even though you are coming to a similar obstacle, you know a little bit more, you're a little bit wiser, you're a little bit older, you've learned a little bit more about yourself.</p><p>You have new people in your life or a new person in your life. You have a little bit more resource, a little bit less resource, a little bit more creative, a little bit less creative. And so the lie that keeps you stuck and makes you give up. I've been here before. You have never been there before. In fact, once somebody close to me in my life said, you're going to fail, and I said, I won't.</p><p>And they said, you've been here before. And I got really annoyed and I was like, I have never been here before. I've never had this moment in my life before. I've never been at this point in time right now. I've never had so much knowledge. I have not been here before. You do not know my future. And do not let yourself or other people tell you that you've been here before; you haven't.</p><p>And if you keep going, you'll start to form and keep learning a tighter and tighter circle until you hit your goals and you hit your target. The key is to keep on going, and there are a few reasons why you don't keep on going. One is this lie. This lie, that success is linear and that you've been here before.</p><p>Those two lies, the third. The reason why you don't always keep going is that you are not clear enough on the target. You don't have focused laser vision, both in your mind and in your heart. It needs to be an emotional reason for succeeding. Not somebody else's goal for your life, but your goal, the thing that you want, that you think, man, that would be absolutely fucking fantastic.</p><p>If I could do that'd be amazing. That'd be incredible. Right? And it excites you a bit. And you have a system for keeping you connected to your goal. 'Cause we can set goals, but we lose connection with them, 'cause they're too complicated or they're not specific enough, and they're also not short enough.</p><p>If this is making sense and you want to reach your goals, you know that you must reach your goals this year, in the next 12 months, very shortly, very soon, that you don't leave your life. With your goals, unreached, and your goals can be very broad in very many different dimensions of your life.</p><p>In fact, they should be. But if you need to be the kind of human being and to do the kinds of things that are in your heart and in your mind to do, then I want you to type goals underneath this video. 'cause I want to invite 12 people to something very special for the next 30 days to make certain, to make absolutely.</p><p>Certain that you hit your goals because if you can conceive it in your mind and your heart and it can mean enough to you, and you can stay connected to it, and we can keep you on that circular path of getting closer and closer to it, you will undoubtedly achieve your goals. I promise I give you my guarantee.</p><p>Put goals underneath this video. I'll talk to you soon.</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.threewordgoals.com/p/the-3-word-goals-intensive&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Join the Intensive Here&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:&quot;button-wrapper&quot;}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary button-wrapper" href="https://www.threewordgoals.com/p/the-3-word-goals-intensive"><span>Join the Intensive Here</span></a></p>]]></content:encoded></item></channel></rss>
