The following quote is talking about what kind of goals you could have when you look at issues decisively:
“could” is italicized. I think that means that they are goals you can choose or decide to have. You don’t just have to stick to one goal I think. Or just cuz you made up a goal doesn’t mean you have to follow through with it.
The second clause of the quote above:
It’s cool that just cuz it’s a goal doesn’t mean it has to be your goal. It’s similar to ideas where just cuz it’s an idea you have doesn’t mean that you have to stay with it. It doesn’t have to define you
