What Goal Comes After 1,000 Days Of Writing Daily Articles On Sageship, Leadership, Business, and Psychophysiology?
Understanding How The Right Goals Fundamentally Change Over Time
How Many People Do Something For 1,000 Days Straight?
I Honestly Cannot Tell You because I cannot Find Data for It.
But what I Can Tell You...
Is that 90% of People Fail their Yearly Goals, which is Only 365 Days...
And Many of The Goals that People Maintain are Not Done “Every” Single Day.
So it is Most Likely Fair to Say that Less than 10% of People have a Goal to Do Something “Every” Day...
And Do it For Over a Year...
Let Alone 1,000 Days in a Row.
But...
Just Because Few People Do It...
Does Not Mean it is Not Possible.
I Know for a Fact because I have now Written and Published Daily Articles...
On Topics Related to Sageship, Leadership, Business, and Psychophysiology...
Every Single Day...
For Over 1,000 Days Now.
It is Humanely Possible to Successfully Accomplish a 1,000-Day Goal in Your Life.
I’ve Done It, and I am Not Unique in this Ability.
However...
Since I have Accomplished this Goal...
I had a Good Friend and Follower of My Work (They have been with me since Between Days 300 and 400)...
Ask the Question...
What Comes Next?
Once You have Dedicated Yourself Successfully to Doing Something for 1,000 Days Straight...
What Do You Do After That?
I told them...
“I Guess the Next Goal is 10,000 Days... but I’ll probably Focus on 1,000 Day Increments.”
Their Response...
They Created a Timeline of What That Will Actually Look Like (PS, Thanks Dharrsheena!)...
Day 2,000 → 23/06/2028
Day 3,000 → 09/03/2031
Day 4,000 → 14/12/2033
Day 5,000 → 08/09/2036
Day 6,000 → 04/06/2039
Day 7,000 → 28/02/2042
Day 8,000 → 24/11/2044
Day 9,000 → 20/08/2047
Day 10,000 → 17/05/2050
This Means that to Hit the Next Goal of 10,000 Days...
I will Need to Write and Publish Articles for 25 Years in a Row...
Sounds Crazy...
Right?
But Here’s the Thing...
When You Set the Right Goals in Your Life...
The Goals Fundamentally Change.
Let me Explain...
When I Began Writing Articles Daily...
I Started with a 30 Day Challenge in October of 2022.
And I was Successful.
But What Happened Afterward?
I Stopped Writing.
30 Days is a Good Start...
But the Average Habit takes 66 Days to Establish...
And I have Seen that 100 Days Seems to Be a Better Measure of Solidifying a Habit...
Where it is Easier to Do the Habit than to Not Do the Habit based on Psychophysiology.
But, I Figured that 30 Days was Simple, and 100 Days was Not “Enough” of a Challenge to Ignite Flow States in Myself...
So on January 1, 2023...
I Began a 1 Year Writing Journey.
How Did That Go?
It Went Really Well!
But as I was Going Through those First 365 Days...
It was About Getting the Writing Done...
Just Getting to the Goal...
And it was Not Easy on Many Days.
The Writing was Still About the “Goal” at that Point.
But Once I Crossed the End...
I Decided to Maintain the Habit because Writing Every Day was Great for My Business.
At that Point, I had Already Done a Full Year, and Felt that was Very Doable...
So I wanted to Expand the Difficulty to 1,000 Days.
But...
This is Where the Goal began to Change...
In the First Year it was about “Getting” to the End...
But As I Continued to Write Every Day...
I Stopped Caring About the End...
As I went Further and Further...
1,000 Days Was No Longer the Focus.
Why?
What Changed?
I Began to See that the Writing Itself was the Gift.
Writing Became a Way of Living.
Everything in My Life Began to Become Filtered Through Writing.
All of My Ideas were Tested, Adapted, and Improved through Writing.
My Emotions were Processed through Writing...
Learning to Understand Them and Express Them in Ways so that I Could Help Others through those Same Types of Human Emotions.
My Growth was Fueled by the Excitement of Figuring Out How to Write about New Ideas...
And How they Connected to Other Ideas that I Had.
Sure...
Writing Every Day also Helped Me Get Noticed...
It has Led to Over 130 Awards and Nominations for My Work...
Including being a Hall of Fame Leadership Coach...
Recognized Alongside Doctors in Healthcare...
And Being on a Billboard in Times Square, New York.
But Really, after a Couple of these Awards and Recognitions...
They Stopped Mattering.
So Much So that Multiple Members of My Family were Confused Why I “Didn’t Seem More Excited” to be on a Billboard...
My Work is Not About That...
It Never Has Been.
As Incredible as These Things Are...
They are Not Enough to Fuel You to Do Something for Years...
Let Alone 25 Years.
The Right Goals in Your Life Need to Fundamentally Change You in Deeper Ways.
For Me...
Writing Does Impact Me in Integral and Essential Ways...
Writing is a Way of Living for Me...
I Cannot Imagine My Life Without Writing Anymore.
How Would I Think?
How Would I Grow?
How Would I Impact Others’ Lives?
How Would I Understand How the World Works and Look for Ways to Improve It?
How Would I Process the World?
Writing has Become Something Essential in My Life...
Something that I want to Do Forever...
And in that Context...
What is the Difference Between 1,000 Days and 10,000 Days?
Time.
But it is Time Well Spent.
Time that Will Allow Me to Grow and Become Better.
Time Living in Ways that Few People Ever Get to Experience.
Time that Allows Me to Fully Become My Best Self.
And That is the Takeaway...
If You want to Set Goals of Immensity...
They Must Be Goals that are Different...
Goals that Impact You at a Fundamental Level.
People Only Dedicate Themselves Fully to Goals that are Significant...
That Positively Changes Their Lives.
When the Goals Stop Being the Point...
And the Journey Becomes Everything...
Then Every Goal You Set Becomes Inevitable...
Just With Time.
