Learning to love the process

I’ve always been focused on goals, achievements, the end game. Over the past few years I’ve realized this is truly an infinite game (also great book by Simon Sinek) and we better find enjoyment in the playing of it; not the winning. Easy to do when talking about enjoying the good time and happy moments with kids, spouse, family and friends. Hard to do when things are going wrong, you’re not achieving what you want, kids are struggling and times are difficult. I believe it was on Tim Ferris’s podcast I first heard the term “Embrace the Suck”. For a type A competitive person that’s about the hardest thing to do. Fix, achieve, correct, improve, rage, push harder, search for a solution, do more. That’s how to succeed. Accepting there are things you can’t fix is complacency, weakness, failure. Right?
