**(Get your AI Coach Prompt for this post in the comments below)** The Uncomfortable Truth About Your Goals... Here's something that might shake you: Most people spend years—sometimes decades—climbing a mountain, only to reach the top and realize it was the wrong mountain. Not because they lacked effort. Not because they weren't talented. But because they never stopped to ask a simple question: Is this goal actually mine? We assume our goals are authentic because they feel like ours. They've been with us for years. We've invested time, money, and identity into them. Of course they're ours. But what if many of those goals were inherited from parents who wanted certain things for you? Absorbed from a culture that broadcasts what "success" should look like? Developed in reaction to painful experiences you're still running from? These are borrowed dreams. And pursuing them leads to one of two painful outcomes: If you fail at a borrowed goal: You feel inadequate, like you're not good enough—but you were aiming at the wrong target. If you succeed at a borrowed goal: You feel hollow, empty, asking "Is this it?"—because you climbed someone else's mountain. Both outcomes waste your precious life energy. Today, we're going to put your goals through a rigorous authenticity audit. This might be the most important work you do all year.
