Most people talk about “loving the journey,” as if the destination is optional. That’s wrong. You wouldn’t start if the destination didn’t matter. Results don’t just reflect progress—they tangibly define who you are.
Every step, every effort, every action exists to get you closer to where you want to be. The smarter you approach the process, the faster you reach it—and the sooner you can start the next journey. Every destination reached is another opportunity to go further.
If you’re not where you want to be, you’re failing. That’s reality, not perception. The process alone doesn’t justify anything. Effort without progress is wasted. Motion without movement doesn’t get you results.
You do what you do because it makes sense for you, because it gets you somewhere. Lean into that. Master the steps that produce results. Optimize, execute, finish.
At the end of the day, the principle is simple: reach your destinations faster. Go on more journeys. Repeat. Anything less isn’t sensible—it won’t get you where you want to go.
