This one could be controversial

I think SMART goals are dumb. 

SMART goals are defined as:

Specific

Measurable

Actionable

Reasonable

Timebound

SMART. 

I don't mind specific. Measurable is fine. Actionable is imperative.

But reasonable goals can f*ck all the way off.

I don't believe in reasonable goals.

Because goals are about MUCH more than just achieving them. 
 

Goals are about who you become in the process of going after them. 

I believe in setting IMPOSSIBLE goals. 

What do you really want that seems totally out of reach? 

Who do you need to BE to get there? How do you need to show up differently in the world? 

When you set an impossible goal, I can guarantee you that, if you take messy action and go for it, you will surpass the reasonable goal that you were going to set. 

Stop being so reasonable. Go for impossible and see what happens.
