What does “success” mean, and what role do goals play?
This is a tricky subject, where there has been a lot of disagreement in the business literature in the past. Some say you should have rock- solid, clear goals that stretch far out into the future; others say it is better to let the future take care of itself and to focus more on the present to do good work you enjoy.
The approach I take in the essays in my new book, ‘The Happiness Files’, treats professional goals like a rhumb line—a navigational term for the straight course toward a destination, with the full knowledge and acceptance that circumstances will change that course and maybe even the destination itself.
But without the rhumb line, progress is not possible to see or measure.
The progress principle in your career requires that you have purpose and direction in your work and life.
You can find a deeper exploration of balancing Work, Life, and Relationships in my new book, ‘The Happiness Files’, available for pre-order here: amazon.co.uk/dp/B0F4MFQ6VN
