It’s possible these are both right. You should pick achievable goals which will actually make you happy, and you should pick impossible goals that you will always enjoy working towards.
The problem with impossible goals is that there's no feedback if you're actually making progress.
Far better to identify achievable goals that have a timespan of a few years max, and with milestones at least every few months to know you're on the right track.
Impossible goals are ultimately a nonsensical proposition. And if you have an activity you enjoy, you just do that activity. Like crossword puzzles. They don't have a goal.
