Goal or Journey? Both!
|
Hey Reader, When I was in university, there was a big debate: As a success-driven person, I always stated that the goal and the outcome matter most. Now that I hunted success for many years, I’ve noticed another pattern. If you don’t enjoy the process to get the success—success is falling short. You need to have goals because they serve as landmarks to give your journey a direction. That is something I have seen in people’s lives that were focused too much on the journey. They didn’t really have a direction for their life. They had trouble making decisions. The flipside is, the goal without action is never achieved. So you need progress towards your goal. The progress is the journey. Taking repeated action is the journey. You need to enjoy the journey you’re on—otherwise, you won’t be able to stick with it long enough. Only the goal with the journey combined is giving you the ability for achievement. One without the other is not going to be successful. The goal gives us direction. The journey drives us forward through repeated action. Progress comes from combining both direction and action, making consistent steps forward toward our destination while learning from the journey itself. That’s the joy of being a husband, father, and entrepreneur. Until next time, Your Jowi |
