Goal achieving does not equal arriving

Goal achieving does not equal arriving 
A mistake people make is to visualize to their goals rather than through their goals. Because after we hit a goal, there is still life to live. I haven’t “arrived” once I hit that goal.
Let’s use the example of running a marathon. Absolutely I should celebrate crossing the finish line. I set a goal and I achieved it. However, if I am a runner, I’ll be running again in a couple of days because that is who I am. So then, what am I running towards? – health, fitness, well-being. Those things continue long after the marathon is over.
Even if I’m running the marathon from a bucket list perspective (a one-time thing that I won’t repeat), there’s still a what’s next. So again, I should absolutely celebrate running that marathon and . . . living an adventurous life, or challenging myself or ??? will continue long after the marathon is over.
Visualizing to a goal makes the goals heavier and more significant than they are (and therefore harder to obtain). Visualizing through our goals makes them an almost inevitable mile post on the journey.
Much Love,
Jonathan
