Goals Create Motion. Vision Creates Direction
Published 1 year, 1 month ago
Description
People often treat goals as the primary driver of success. But goals can also narrow attention, distort priorities, and optimize behavior toward outcomes that no longer connect to a larger direction or purpose. In this solo episode, I explore the difference between:
- goals
- vision
- direction
- optimization
We discuss:
- why goals can become proxy objectives
- how people lose sight of larger purpose
- direction vs productivity
- why achieving goals does not always create fulfillment
A recurring theme throughout the episode is that goals help measure progress, but vision determines whether the direction itself actually matters.
