Deep dives

Focusing on the Gap vs. the Gain

When pursuing goals like running a marathon, individuals tend to either focus on the gap between their current progress and the ideal end result or on the gain achieved so far. Focusing on the gap involves comparing current achievements with the ultimate vision, which can lead to feelings of discouragement and impatience. On the contrary, concentrating on the gain entails acknowledging small milestones and improvements made along the way, fostering a sense of progress and empowerment. By emphasizing what has been accomplished and the progress made, individuals are more likely to stay motivated and committed to their goals.
