A Master of Opportunity & Challenge— that’s what my wife dubbed me in my late twenties and early thirties. A former elite athlete, a championship winning coach, and the Managing Director of a successful consulting business, goals were my spinach. They fuelled my strength, made light work of obstacles or obstructions, and drove me to achieve whatever I set my sights on. Goals made anything possible, or so it seemed. Their promise was certainly enticing, and their power seductively addictive.
