In this episode of Behavior Gap Radio, Carl asks a fair question: If the world is uncertain, and plans are just guesses, why have goals at all? He reframes goals not as promises or predictions, but as values-informed guesses that relieve pressure instead of creating it. Carl explains the three reasons goals still matter in an uncertain world: they give us direction when the path isn’t clear, they create a quiet gravitational pull toward what matters, and they offer hope when certainty isn’t available. Goals don’t lock us in. They help us keep moving.
