139 - Make the Work the Goal

I've been thinking about big goals. They often take a long time and you can work day in and day out, but it takes time to see results. It can be discouraging. Say you want to lose 20 lbs, you may not start seeing results for weeks.   One way to stay on track is to make the work the goal. Deep down, we usually know what we need to do to get there. Instead of focusing on the end goal, it might be helpful to focus on the daily work instead. You can become the person that does the work necessary today—doing that will get you to the person you want to be.
