Episode notes
UFC Example Of Process Power
- Eric describes watching pre-fight interviews where one fighter said "I'm just happy to be here to fight" and later won.
- That example illustrated how loving the fight (process) predicted victory.
Process Over Destination
- Loving the process beats loving the destination because it keeps you present and persistent.
- People who enjoy doing the work (e.g., fighting because they love fighting) outlast those obsessed with outcomes.
Choose Systems, Not Goals
- Build systems instead of fixating on goals to shape lasting behaviour and longevity.
- Measure process-level markers (daily habits, gratitude) rather than only end results.
