It's funny how you progress through different stages of your life journey, with each one impacting the others. If you have your eyes open, you're constantly adjusting because you're looking for the optimal settings that will make you happier and more fulfilled. My younger self was a solely results kind of guy. Nothing else mattered, and although it worked for some things in my life, for others, not so much. Let's face it: there is so much we have no direct control over, as much as we'd like to think we do.
And it was making me miserable as I set book sale goals I was not achieving.. That's why the destination focus gets a bad rap; we fear that too much emphasis on the outcome may lead to disappointment if goals aren't met.

So I changed tack.
I started celebrating the journey alone, advocating for a cool process-centric approach that could sometimes trap you in a bubble where you lack the motivation to achieve significant milestones.
What if we're framing the debate all wrong? What if the real secret to fulfilment and achievement lies not in choosing between the journey and the destination but in embracing both with an abundance mindset?

Thinking Win-Win

Adopting a win-win mentality means recognizing that the journey and the destination are not mutually exclusive but mutually beneficial. Each delicious target set is an opportunity for achievement, growth, discovery, and joy. It's about setting goals that make the heart race, goals that are so compelling they pull us forward. Yet, it's also about finding joy in the pursuit, daily grind, and small victories along the path.

Setting Juicy Targets

What makes a target "delicious"? It's a goal that resonates deeply with our desires and ambitions, one that feels both challenging and achievable. It could be a professional milestone, such as launching a new product or service, or a personal achievement, like mastering a new skill or hobby. The key is to choose targets that excite us, that make us leap out of bed in the morning, eager to make progress.

Enjoying the Journey

But setting targets is just one part of the equation. The magic happens when we learn to enjoy the journey towards these goals. This means embracing challenges as opportunities for growth, celebrating progress, no matter how small, and learning to find joy in the unexpected detours life throws our way. It's about being present in the moment, mindful of the lessons we're learning, and grateful for the experiences we're accumulating.

Embracing Abundance

Thinking with abundance means believing there's enough success to go around and that achieving our goals doesn't mean sacrificing happiness along the way. It's understanding that the journey enriches us, making achieving our targets all the more rewarding. This mindset encourages us to set even higher goals, secure in the knowledge that pursuing these goals will bring its own rewards.
