Focus on the process, not just the outcome from "summary" of Slight Edge by Jeff Olson
Focusing solely on the outcome is a common mistake that many people make in their pursuit of success. They become fixated on the end goal, believing that once they achieve it, everything will fall into place. However, what they fail to realize is that success is not just about the end result; it is about the process that leads to that result. By focusing on the process, you are able to develop the habits and actions that are necessary for success. The process is where the magic happens. It is where you put in the work, day in and day out, that ultimately leads to the achievement of your goals. It is about showing up consistently, doing the things that others are not willing to do, and pushing through the challenges and setbacks that are inevitable on the path to success. When you focus on the process, you are able to see the progress that you are making, no matter how small it may seem at the time. By focusing on the process, you are able to build momentum that propels you forward towards your goals. Each small step that you take adds up over time, leading to significant progress and ultimately, success. It is about staying committed to the daily actions that are necessary for success, even when you don't see immediate results. It is about trusting the process and having faith that your efforts will pay off in the long run.- You are setting yourself up for disappointment. Success is not a one-time event; it is a journey that requires dedication and perseverance. By focusing on the process, you are able to enjoy the journey and appreciate the growth and learning that comes with it. You are able to stay motivated and inspired, knowing that each step you take is leading you closer to your goals. Ultimately, success is not just about the destination; it is about the journey that takes you there.
