		<description>Great question Chuck!

Glad you&#039;re trying out MagnetGoals. 

Your comment reminded me of Robert Browning&#039;s quote: &quot;A man&#039;s grasp should exceed his reach, or what&#039;s Heaven for?&quot;

I&#039;m all for being content. I think it&#039;s an important spiritual discipline. 

But it&#039;s not an excuse for not growing. And if you look at nature, growth is a normal part of health. 

For me, as I review my MagnetGoals list throughout the year, I&#039;m amazed at all God&#039;s helped me accomplish. 

And when I&#039;m writing them, I&#039;m constantly asking, &quot;What do You want me to be? To do? How can I best complete my purpose here on earth?&quot;

I hope that helps! Let me know how the process goes for you.

PS I love the coffee analogy. After working as a Starbucks barista in the 90&#039;s, I had to re-train my tastebuds to stomach Folgers. I like great coffee. But I don&#039;t want my preferences to get in the way of receiving the hospitality of others!</description>
