When you fail to hit your goal, it gives you a chance to reflect on that identity.

Did you become a writer? a runner? Did you become a better professional? A better athlete?

If yes, the expand the timeline. If no, find a better goal.

Don't limit yourself. Get strategic.

Still 5+ minutes from my sub-20 goal, but the progress is real. Now it's time to get feedback and make adjustments.
