Critique Your Goal-Setting Approach

You set goals, you miss them, and the ones you hit feel oddly hollow. This critiques your approach: whether the goals are really yours or borrowed from comparison, how you measure progress, and why the payoff disappoints. You find the flaw in the method rather than blaming your willpower again.

<context>
You set goals regularly but have noticed that you often fail to follow through or that achieving a goal does not produce the satisfaction you expected. You want an honest critique of your approach.

<task>
**Critique your goal-setting approach across four dimensions:**
1. Origin of goals: are your goals genuinely your own, or are they shaped primarily by comparison with others, social expectations, or a vague sense of what you should want?
2. Specificity and measurability: are your goals concrete enough that you would recognise success, or are they aspirational statements that are always out of reach?
3. The approach to failure: when you miss a goal, what typically happens? Do you abandon it, adjust it, or use it as evidence against yourself?
4. The relationship between achieving and thriving: have you examined whether the goals you set are actually connected to what makes you feel well and purposeful?
