Achievement junkies and peak performers love goals.

Goals matter. They lead to degrees, and careers; to books and art; to sculpture, symphonies, and chapel ceilings. They’ve beat back disease and extended life. They’ve taken us to the moon and to the stars beyond.

But it’s pretty easy to blow by the moments of your life in the pursuit of your goals.

I learned that lesson (again) in the jungles of Indonesia.

Pursue your goals. With all your heart.

And: Be. Here. Now.
