Grand Goals

I listened to the podcast of Cal Newport today. He is a writer and a professor, and most of his content focuses on how to live a deep life. In the latest episode, he talked about how we should be wary of setting grand goal and believing that once we reach all goals, our life would be sustainably better.
He believed that grand goals could be dangerous by narrowing our vision. You put all your eggs in one basket, and if you fail, you give up on everything and lose your discipline. He said that instead of setting a grand goal, we should focus on building a life system. Take discipline as an identity, not just a tool for achieving goals. And if you want to set goals, imagine the life you want to have five years from now and directly reverse engineer these specific parts of your life. Systematically improve the small parts of your life, and then remarkable progress will be made over time.
