MINDSET – “Hard goals ask you to be comfortable with not being great at something straight away.”

Trying something new is uncomfortable. Setting a hard goal means accepting that you won’t be great at it straight away — and that can be confronting. But growth doesn’t come from repeating what’s familiar. It comes from being willing to sit in the learning phase, to struggle a little, and to keep going anyway.

Hard goals aren’t about proving anything to anyone else. They’re about expanding what you believe you’re capable of. Every new skill, every heavier lift, every unfamiliar challenge reshapes not just your ability, but your confidence.

So, if you’re tempted to stay safe this week, consider this your nudge to try something new. Choose a goal that stretches you. Not because it’s easy — but because it’s worth becoming the person who can do it.
