Why you should stop setting goals (yes, really)

In athletics, in business, in life, everyone sets goals. But that's not the way to excel, according to former NFL player Emmanuel Acho, now an author and TV sports analyst. Here's what he says to do instead.

Fixating on rigid goals can limit achievement and harm self-worth. One powerful story: chasing an NFL draft goal led to a devastating injury and disappointment, overshadowing later success like winning a Primetime Emmy. Instead, aiming for limitless objectives invites growth and fulfillment beyond imagined endpoints. Pursuing open-ended improvement allows potential to flourish without the pain of narrowly defined failure.
