Figuring Out How...

A few years ago I wanted to deepen my knowledge, so I started trying to read a good personal development book for an hour a day. It was hard work, nothing I read seemed to stick, and it became a chore. I stopped.

A while later I tried again, but this time I set the goal as 30 minutes of reading, and moved it to first thing in the morning with my coffee, and for years it was one of my favourite parts of the day.

It doesn’t matter how much we want to achieve a goal, if we don’t enjoy the process, our chances of success are pretty slim. Better, then, to spend as much time figuring out how to enjoy working on the goal as we do on what we’re trying to achieve…
