Jan 11, 2026Align Your Goals With What Actually Moves You
Momentum dies quickly when goals lose meaning.
I once watched a leader hit every external milestone they had set, revenue, growth, recognition, only to feel completely depleted. The goals looked impressive, but they were disconnected from what actually mattered to them. Discipline kept them moving, but joy was gone and burnout followed.
When we realigned their goals with their values, momentum returned without force.
Your drive is not powered by discipline alone. It is powered by purpose. When goals align with your values and passions, momentum becomes self generating. When they do not, progress feels like pushing uphill.
Ask yourself:
What do I love deeply?
What do I refuse to tolerate?
What pulls me forward even when I am tired?
Your answers reveal your fuel source.
As Friedrich Nietzsche said, he who has a why to live can bear almost any how.
When your why is clear, resilience strengthens. When it is missing, momentum fades.
Power Session:
Journal your top five values. For each one, write how it connects to a current business or life goal.
Reflect:
Which goal needs realignment so your momentum feels energizing instead of exhausting?
