Defining a “big goal”


Dear Brooke,

I have loved reading through your illuminating responses and am so grateful for this forum.

My question – in around 4 months time I’ll be moving continents for my husband’s job. I need to pack up & grieve a life I truly love, find a new home in a new city, shepherd my young kids through a massive transition, find new schools, create work, find community, all the things. Re-creating a joyful productive life seems like a big goal. Is it big enough? Right now the sadness of dismantling the life we’ve created is that “heavy purse” and I want to get excited and motivated about this next phase. I wondered if you might have any suggestions on how to define a truly inspiring mind-blowing goal.
