When Goals Collapse

Have you ever fought for a goal—poured your energy, your discipline, your will into it—only to watch it crumble in your hands?

You told yourself you just needed more grit. More hustle. More discipline.

But no matter what you tried, it never worked.

It leaves you feeling like a failure. Like something’s wrong with you.

But maybe nothing is wrong with you. Maybe the goal itself was wrong.

Why Some Goals Fail

Not every goal is meant for you.

Some goals collapse because they’re out of alignment with your Compass.

You can force your way forward for a while, but eventually misalignment catches up. And the life you were never meant to build refuses to stand.

The truth is, your Compass doesn’t care how impressive or popular a goal looks. It only cares whether it points you toward the life you were created to live.

The Freedom in Letting Go

That’s why some of the most painful failures are also the most freeing. They expose what was never meant for you in the first place.

And when you let those false goals burn away, you make room for the ones that were always yours. The ones that don’t just demand effort—they ignite it.

Ask the Compass

Look at your goals today.

Ask yourself: Does this align with who I’m becoming, or is it just something I thought I should want?

If it doesn’t align, let it go. That isn’t failure—it’s freedom.
