Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• The thing I’m supposedly working toward is this vague blur
• I say I want to "be healthier" or "be successful," but it’s all so vague it doesn’t pull me anywhere
• I keep saying I just want to be free and have enough, but it stays a vague daydream
• I keep saying I want to "get healthier" or "be more present," but it stays a foggy wish
• I want so many things at once — fitter, calmer, more money, a better relationship — that it all blurs into a vague "be better" and I never get traction on any of it.
