How to Prime Yourself for a Breakthrough in Any Area of Life
Shift your results-based mindset to a trajectory-based mindset.
As a society, we have been primed to crave instant gratification. We chase quick hits and overindulgence through endless means: social media, binge eating, and online shopping, to name a few.
Chasing instant gratification is rarely satisfying. Satisfaction is a long-term feeling, while instant gratification only provides temporary pleasure. We feel a slight high: one that inevitably stoops back down and leaves us feeling worse than before.
When it comes to building a project, many people fail at achieving their goals because they are too focused on results.
Results are not instant; rather, they are acquired over time. Small actions accumulate, and one day you will look back and wonder how you got to where you are today — whether that reflection will be in a positive or negative light is up to you and your daily actions.
There are many people who want everything now. They want a breakthrough in their business idea five days after starting. They want to be a top writer after publishing one post. They want to feel healthy and fit after a ten-minute workout.
