Your joy must come from something other than reaching goals. Because there may come a time when you’re not able to pursue goals anymore. There are some circumstances that can’t be overcome. Goals are for the fortunate.

There are worthy goals to strive for. But that shouldn’t be the object of our joy. Start with being thankful for what you have. And start with surrender. Not with goals, not with plans, not with motivation, but with surrender to the present.
