Deep dives
Celebrating Good Enough
Ambitious people are often hard on themselves, always seeking greatness and criticizing anything less. However, it is important to celebrate good enough. Rather than berating oneself for not achieving perfection, one should give themselves credit for showing up and doing their best. A beautiful life is built by consistently giving your best on the majority of days, even if it's not exceptional. By celebrating good enough, you maintain motivation and are more likely to show up next time.
The Click Test: Evaluating Your Energy
The Click Test refers to an experiment where people were asked if they would fast forward through their daily experiences if given the chance. Surprisingly, many chose to skip through 40% of their waking hours. This test prompts us to evaluate how we experience our days and identify activities that drain our energy but do not align with our long-term goals. We should delegate or eliminate draining activities when possible. On the other hand, there are challenging actions that provide long-term satisfaction. We should find ways to make them more enjoyable and embrace them as steps toward our future selves.
