The Value of Trajectory Over Position in Personal Success
Focusing on trajectory rather than current position significantly impacts personal success. A slow, upward trajectory indicates growth and potential, making it preferable to holding a high position that has declined. Recency bias favors individuals who seem popular now, causing us to overlook the temporary nature of success and failure. People often inaccurately label others as winners or losers based on momentary achievements rather than their potential for future growth. Progress should be viewed as a continuous climb rather than a static achievement; the joy of acquiring new successes can quickly turn into pressure when one must consistently exceed past accomplishments. Therefore, a slow success strategy reduces the pressure of needing immediate results, allowing for sustained satisfaction over time. Reflecting on the long-term impact of achievements is essential, as immediate success can sometimes lead to unhappiness later. This approach encourages a healthier, consistent pursuit of goals, equating success with gradual improvement rather than fleeting accolades.
