The Knowledge Project with Shane Parrish

NOTE

Focus on the Process, Not Just the Goal

Achieving greatness requires dedication to the present moment and a commitment to mastering the current task. Instead of fixating solely on lofty ambitions like being the best in the world, one should concentrate on incremental improvement and personal excellence in every training session and game. This organic approach encourages setting realistic benchmarks and appreciating the journey of development rather than merely the end result. By stacking goals appropriately and focusing on the work necessary to reach them, individuals can naturally progress towards their desired achievements without getting overwhelmed by the final destination.
