Person First, Process Second, Goal Third

from Chasing Excellence

We're exploring how to pursue ambitious goals without making our identity dependent on the outcome. By placing the person and the process ahead of the goal, we build awareness around what we can control, intention around the habits and character traits we want to practice, and action toward a life of health, happiness, and purpose - even when reality doesn't match our expectations.
