Fall in love with the process over outcomes

We often fixate on outcomes — the promotion, the follower count, the revenue number. But the real magic happens when you fall in love with the process.

The Problem with Outcome Fixation

When you're only focused on results, every setback feels like failure. You lose motivation when progress is slow.

Embracing the Process

The process is where growth happens. It's in the daily practice, the iteration, the small improvements that compound over time.

Practical Steps

  • Set process goals instead of outcome goals
  • Celebrate small wins along the way
  • Journal about what you learned, not just what you achieved
  • Find joy in the daily work itself
