Success is an everyday proposition. It isn't defined by a championship game or the day you get your diploma, get drafted by an NFL team, make the big sale, land the account of a lifetime, or get your law degree. Don't get me wrong, those are great days, and we should celebrate those accomplishments. But the key to a successful life is the journey and the process. It's the emphasis on the journey to success that we work on each day, step by step (8-9).

This exactly the mindset that I've had this year in terms of my weight loss/health. If I focus on the end success it gets overwhelming and un-doable. But if I focus on each daily success...on each moment of success along the journey then I am ultimately successful.
ReplyDeleteThe thing I appreciate most about coaching is what happens during the week with the kids at practice. That means a whole lot more to me than the games.
ReplyDeleteDeb, you are right. Focusing too far down the road gets overwhelming.
