See Success As a Journey, Not a Destination

in life •  3 years ago 

Rather than trying to "arrive" at something, see success as a journey and not a destination. If you are content to grow towards your potential and help others, you won't be tempted to strive to "arrive" at your goal. This mindset will keep you from feeling empty when you "arrive" at your goal. Instead, you will be filled to the brim with new experiences and new skills.


Focusing on the journey
Achieving your goals isn't the end game; focus on the journey to success instead. Focus on learning, growing, and embracing the small steps along the way. Your success is only a by-product of the process, and you'll never know if you'll succeed until you get there. But you can get there by making small steps along the way to success and embracing the habits you develop along the way.

Inner peace
It is common to think that "success" is about getting to a certain place. While that may be true in some cases, there is nothing wrong with seeing success as a process, and this mindset will help you find lasting satisfaction. Among those who define success as a process are Brianna Wiest, Jim Lovell, Booker T. Washington, and Mike Ditka.

Patience
You must be patient, persistent and perspiring if you want to achieve your goal. The journey of success is never over. You have to continue to grow and help others, even after you reach your goal. This will help you to avoid being disappointed when you have reached your destination. You should never expect to be successful immediately and then feel unfulfilled. By viewing success as a journey, you can enjoy the process more fully.

Persistence
Persistence is the quality of being persistent, whether for internal or external goals. Often, staying persistent is hard, especially if you are facing pain. Keeping up with the process of your life can be a source of pain, but you should continue regardless. Persisting is an essential component of success.

Purpose
If you have reached a goal, see it as a process, not a destination. Whether you are achieving a job promotion, gaining weight, or getting a raise, success is a process and not a destination. By doing so, you will avoid the pitfalls of focusing on the "destination," which can lead to unfulfillment later. Rather, focus on how you can help others along the way.


Self-awareness
Achieving a high level of self-awareness is a crucial skill for leaders. When leaders are self-aware of their own behaviors, they are better equipped to motivate others, communicate their strategy and build relationships. There is no such thing as too much self-awareness.
