Please send some comments on how you are doing in terms of balancing goals, values and mission.
Only we can determine calculate the costs and benefits to our own lives. The problem occurs when the price we pay for achieving goals, is not worth the cost we incur in our lives. There is nothing wrong with choosing to dedicate your life to your career, if that makes you happy. I see too many younger people who are missing their youth, then postponing their love life, then not having children – all in service of their career. I see too many older people wrecking their health in pursuit of their next achievement. Almost everyone that I meet feels as busy – or even busier – than they have felt in their entire lives. The idea of driving the same car as one of these superstars may seem laughable, but it gives owners of these vehicles another point to brag about when asked why they are so obsessed with their German car. Over the last 30 years, I have noticed a clear trend. You might catch Chris Pratt or Hugh Jackman taking a spin around town in one of their very own VW babies. They had no idea how hard it is to make this much money!” The answer came out with a sad sigh, “My wives kept complaining that I worked all of the time. “Why do you keep getting divorced?” I asked. With three alimony checks each month, I am almost broke.” I continued my inquiry, “Do you really need this much money?” When I asked him why he worked so hard, he replied, “Why do you think? Do you think that I love this place? I am working so hard because I want to make a lot of money!” “Mike” was always complaining because he worked too hard. Let me give you an example from Wall Street. Goal obsession occurs when we become so focused on achieving our goal (or task) that we forget our larger mission. Goal obsession is one of the greatest problems that I encounter in my interactions with successful people. Are there times when goal achievement can do more harm than good?
Not that I’m telling you to stop… if you want to, you go ahead and ride that train all the way to Hogwarts.So much has been written about ways to achieve goals. If you can identify with these signs, you are probably fully obsessed with the Boy Who Lived. Of course, once you’re all aboard the Harry Potter fan train (aka the Hogwarts Express), there are some signs that maybe you’ve ridden it a bit too far. And it’s a story that can lift your spirits with the age-old theme of good versus evil. It’s a film franchise that gave you butterflies every time you heard “Hedgwig’s Theme” and saw the Warner Bros.

It’s a series that can take people who previously “hated reading” (I can barely type those words) and allow them to actually enjoy it. You’re doing things right.īecause anyone who has read Harry Potter knows that it’s more than just a set of seven well-written books. Is there such a thing as loving Harry Potter too much? If you just laughed for five straight minutes at the ridiculousness of that question, took a swig of Butterbeer from a HP-themed mug, and then went back to a simultaneous Harry Potter film AND book-reading marathon… but go on, continue about your business.
