Journey Versus Outcome
We focus on the outcome and achievement. We let the result take the majority of our attention and energy. We judge and complain if we didn’t get the result.
However, we are neglecting a very important piece here. What about the journey itself? What about the first step you took to initiate the process? What about the ride with all its twists and turns?
When you shift your attention from the result to the journey, you give yourself permission to:
Do mistakes, learn and grow
Approve and validate your hard efforts
Be present in the process
Appreciate your human existence and the journey you are being put in
Be less hard on yourself
Stop beating yourself up for not achieving the outcome sooner
Enjoy the whole process and turn it into an enjoyable experience
At the end, remember. You are not that college certificate. You are not that grade you are struggling to get. You are not that money you are saving. You are a precious and valuable human being who was put in this earth hotel as a temporary guest to reflect and realize your truthful role and purpose.
