Overachievers are experts at outcome management. We are really good at getting things done.
What we kinda suck at is enjoyment. We look at enjoyment as a reward, not as something to create on the daily.
I’m reading one of Chase Hughe’s books on influence and he says that enjoyment is a key source of your authority (which is a key component of influence). You will automatically turn towards someone who is clearly enjoying themselves. “Enjoyment attracts others while also boosting confidence.”
Enjoyment can be cultivated.
- What activities make time disappear?
- Which clients energize you?
- What conversations create aliveness?
- What content feels fun to create?
Look for the glimmers my friends and lean in!
