When pursuing a goal in life, most of us only focus on the end result, or what we're going to get once it's reached. What seems to be widely overlooked at times is what we become in the process during this wild dream chase, which brings me to this week's topic.
While on your ultimate trek, what are you learning? Who are you meeting? What have you discovered? In what ways are you growing? What do you know now that you didn't before? These questions allow us see beyond the pitfalls that can sometimes arise, and help us to remember the progress that we are making in spite of minor issues we may face along the way. How you handle the challenges that present themselves are what separates the winners from the rest. The amount of research, discipline and rejection that you must deal with is, at times, enough to make some people give up. On the other hand, those same challenges can be interpreted as a form of paying ones dues, or even a "tuition" in the School of Hard Knocks. When we overcome obstacles and extract the lessons from them, we are building our life portfolio, for it's the personal growth, and wisdom, and the ability to persevere throughout life that truly reflects what we're worth. Reaching our goal is just the icing on the cake.
