Why Chasing “The Finish Line” Doesn’t Work
From a young age, we’re asked: “What do you want to be when you grow up?” — doctor, engineer, something “big.” But this way of living makes the goal more important than the step you’re taking right now.
The problem?
- If you reach the finish line, you won’t feel ecstatic — only relieved that you’re “ahead” of someone else.
- If you don’t reach it, you’ll feel broken.
- Either way, joy is missing.
The real question isn’t “Am I better than someone?” but “Is everything I have finding full expression in this moment?”
Life isn’t about chasing a goalpost. It’s about being fully devoted to the process right now — and letting competence + circumstances decide how far you’ll go.
👉 What do you think — is being process-oriented more powerful than being goal-oriented?
