The Path To Becoming A Champion

“‘What counts…is not the results,’ said Tino… ‘It is the enjoyment of every step in the process of doing; everything, not only the isolated piece we label art.'”

Coaching Tip for the Week:

We all know what I’m about to share in this week’s Clarity Kickstart. But I benefit every time I get the reminder, and I am hoping you do, too.

Life is not about the end result. It’s not about the achievement of the goal, the completion of the race, the outcome, the promotion, the award, the destination.

Achievement is important. But it’s the icing on the cake.

What matters is the journey. How you transform. Who you become. What you learn. Who you help along the way.

This week, celebrate where you are. Maybe you’re moving more slowly than you’d like. What’s positive about right where you are?

Maybe you feel challenged, like you keep running up against a brick wall. What have you learned?

Maybe things aren’t the way you thought they’d be at this point. What have you experienced that you would have otherwise missed out on?

Whether in work, leadership, or life, the “if…then” approach to success and happiness never works. Like the saying goes, champions are not made in games – they are made on the practice field.

Savor your practice field this week! You’re right where you need to be.
