It’s good to have goals, but you also need perspective and understand why you have those goals. Know your values (easier said than done) and they will help guide you.

Be mindful of ways the world and society are unaligned with those values. It can be insidious as we accept them as a given. One example is consumption. There’s nothing wrong with buying things and we need to buy things to a certain extent. We need food, clothes, shelter. We probably need some comforts and luxuries too, but I feel we can lose sight of the important things. Missing the important for the bright and shiny.

Know your values and see what in your life is aligned with those values and what isn’t so aligned.

Be aware that their are influences around you, some are conscious and some are subconscious
