Michael Neill writes about it in his Supercoach book. So all the more reason not to take goals too seriously! I think projects are the better alternative for creative people. John PS.

When your vision becomes just another item on your to do list. It doesn't really pull you into action. It reminds me when I took programs of Landmark Education, how I created a future or vision, the idea of which was to impact you in the present--Almost exactly as you describe a "creation that is pulling them towards completion". I think there's a place for goals inside of these grand creations, but only as a marker to make sure you're on track, not as an end in itself, or else all the juice goes out of it.
