262 | The Journey is NOT the WIN

Do you feel as if you are stuck on a treadmill, chasing goals without truly experiencing the journey? We live in a fast-paced, achievement-driven society, and most of us are caught up in the whirlwind of pursuing goals, focusing on the goal rather than enjoying the steps along the way. Oftentimes, we invest all our energy on reaching certain milestones, only to find that satisfaction is fleeting once we have achieved them. But what if there is another way? Today, I am flying solo to discuss the difference between a goal-oriented mindset and a journey-oriented thinking. Drawing from my personal experiences and insightful reflections, I will unpack the importance of creating optional conditions, living by core values, and setting intentions to cultivate a fulfilling life journey. This episode of The Greatness Machine will encourage listeners to explore the richness of the journey, finding meaning, and fulfillment in every step taken. I will also highlight the benefits of breaking free from the treadmill of goal-chasing and cultivating a more fulfilling journey. Topics include: Creating optimal conditions versus obsessing over goals or outcomes The importance of living according to core values The crucial role of setting intentions in achieving personal fulfillment Why it matters to consistently embody who you strive to be in the world And other topics… Connect with Darius: Website: https://therealdarius.com/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dariusmirshahzadeh/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imthedarius/ YouTube: https://therealdarius.com/youtube Book: The Core Value Equation https://www.amazon.com/Core-Value-Equation-Framework-Limitless/dp/1544506708 Learn more about your ad choices.
