I think goalposts move by nature, even when you set them yourself. Once upon a time, my goalposts were "graduate college". Then they were, "get a good job". Then they were, "get healthy". Then, "build social circles".

These are moving goalposts. But without them, I would stagnate and achieve little.

Absolutely.

The key to this is you said "my" goalposts.

As long as you're living your life aiming for goalposts you set, they can be achievable. The problems arise when you try to achieve someone elses goal posts.
