Journey Over Destination: Why the Process Matters
Manage episode 391539248 series 3451144
What if I told you that there’s no such thing as failure, only perception?
A beautiful journey is one full of twists and turns, and ups and downs. And in all the challenges and changes, it gets really easy to lose your motivation and develop a skewed, pessimistic perspective. But the truth is that looking at the glass as half empty doesn’t change what’s in the glass, it only changes your attitude and motivation towards your situation. So today I want to get you to a place where you maybe adjust your perspective, reset your motivation, and develop some resilience.
I hope you enjoy this episode, as it’s the last one of the year! I hope you can change your own perception of your journey to understand that it is beautiful, and you are going somewhere amazing and meaningful.
