If you’re anything like me, you like to finish what you start, especially when you’ve already put in a whole lot of time and effort. But sometimes that doesn’t really serve us when it comes to living a life we love.

So today, I’m talking about checking in with your goals, changing direction if you need and why that’s not a failure.

Welcome to The Self-Creation School podcast, for women who are ready to ditch mediocrity, step up and get more of what they want, and finally say YES! to a life that sets their soul on fire. I’m your host Leanne Letica, Self-Creation Coach, founder of The Self-Creation School AND Queen of YES!. If you’re ready to play life by your own personal rule book, and give yourself permission to say YES! to yourself and your wildest dreams, this podcast is the place for you.

This is week four of my Summer Secrets Series. If you are here for the first time, each week’s secret builds on the ones before it. So please be sure to start with week one and listen right through.

Over the past few weeks, I’ve talked about pausing to be more present and decluttering your days of the things that don’t truly deserve your energy.

And for me, this work has created the space I’ve been needing to really tune in. Not just to who I’m being and who I need to be more of to get to where I want to go, but to whether that’s actually where I still want to go.

Sometimes when you’ve been busy hustling towards your goals and you come up for air to refocus on what matters, the things you’ve been hustling for no longer feel quite right.

This is exactly what has happened for me. And this realization is far from a failure. Because honestly, finding out that a goal no longer fits this season of your life sooner rather than later? That is a cause for celebration. And it’s a beautiful invitation to redirect your precious time and energy into something more aligned.

Unfortunately, we live in a culture that tells us we should stick to our goals no matter what. That changing direction means that somehow we failed.

But life is ever evolving. We change. Our priorities change. What we value most changes. As we mature, we start to shift from all the things we should be doing to the things we could be doing. We tune more into ourselves and less into the noise around us.

And sometimes that clarity reveals that our goals are no longer a fit. And at that point, changing direction is nothing to do with failing and everything to do with recognizing that the reason you have goals isn’t to trap you into a life that no longer fits, it’s to guide you towards a life you actually enjoy living.

It’s about knowing that when you hold onto goals that no longer feel aligned, you end up working really hard to create a life that won’t excite you and leaves you feeling empty. I’m no longer here for that kind of life, and my guess is neither are you.

So, this week I’m inviting you to pick one current goal and ask yourself, “Is this goal helping me live an every day I truly love?” Not someday when you achieve it, but right now. Right now, while you’re pursuing it. Because a life you love isn’t a destination. It’s about loving the journey and who your journey asks you to show up as along the way.

Your goals should serve the life you want to experience now, not just someday when. And you can change direction when your current direction no longer serves you.

So this week, check in on your goals and notice what comes up. If it no longer feels like a true YES!, adjust your goal so it feels like a better fit. Maybe you change the timeline. Maybe you let it go completely and choose something more aligned.

My friend, your future self will thank you for choosing alignment over achievement for achievement sake any day.

And that is my Summer Secret for you this week.
