We fill in that blank with various achievements: When I get that promotion When I buy that house When I reach that fitness goal While these milestones are important, tying our sense of success solely to these endpoints can lead to perpetual dissatisfaction. We achieve one goal, only to immediately set our sights on the next, never truly feeling successful. The Journey-Centric Approach Instead of viewing success as a destination, let's reframe it as a journey of continuous growth and learning. Here's how to embrace this mindset: ...
