## Resource

One of the most quietly painful experiences in midlife is carrying a goal that made perfect sense five years ago but no longer fits the life you are actually living — and continuing to measure yourself against it anyway. Holding a goal that doesn't fit your current season doesn't produce better results — it produces chronic shame. Courtney draws a critical distinction between revising a goal and abandoning a value, and introduces a seasonal goal review practice that keeps you moving forward without the crushing weight of outdated targets.
