On today’s Make + Design Podcast, Carina talks about the power of setting really big goals. Carina’s not on camera today because she just got back from running a race! Carina compares the process of training for and running a race to improving anything in life. If you strive for a lot more then falling short is still a win. It is better to make bigger goals because achieving half of a huge goal often puts you farther along than setting and achieving small goals. Goals need to be realistic but our dreams can still be huge! Carina’s running goal today was twelve miles and she only made it 5.5. But Carina of today ran 5.5 miles farther than Carina from five years ago who didn’t run at all. Remember where you’ve been, assess where you are now, and remember that  you’re winning. For the future, make your goals just a bit bigger!
