Goals vs. Following Your Energy: Which One Actually Works?
RSS Feed Catherine explores two ways of approaching life: setting clear goals and plans, or following the energy of what feels alive and meaningful.
Reflecting on conversations with friends about the success of Truth & Transcendence and her other projects, Catherine describes how she tends to respond to her inner voice and to what each project seems to be calling for, rather than aiming for specific outcomes such as money, status or achievement.
She compares this with bringing up a child. The purpose is not to gain a reward, but to respond to what the child needs to become the best and happiest person they can be. In the same way, a project or vocation can be guided by care, passion and purpose rather than a fixed result.
Catherine acknowledges that goal-setting can be powerful and has worked well for her at times. At other times, pursuing a goal has been a disaster because it was not right for that particular endeavour. Her invitation is to tune in before deciding whether to make plans and measure progress or to allow things to unfold.
Neither approach is always right. The balance between deliberate goal-setting and following the energy may change at different stages of life.
