Why are my goals public?

A purpose is worthless without a plan. And a plan is worthless without a system of accountability. I quit my job in February to hike from Mexico to Canada and bring a new vision to life. My mission for 2022 is to

Practice intentional growth, support others on their journey, and make hiking more accessible.

Why hiking? It leads to personal reflection, appreciation, and growth. It exposes the beauty and wonder of nature. It challenges people to move from being aware of environmental challenges to becoming champions of the environment. To focus on improving the health of our planet, even when the problem feels too big to affect.

These goals are designed to stretch what is possible. To create a new ceiling and bring a mission to life.

I won’t achieve everything I set out to do. Some will become irrelevant. Some will be replaced. And that’s okay.

I will be closer to my mission at the end of 2022 than I am today. And I’ll have more learnings and failures to guide me.
