Enjoying the process

Hello and happy Friday,

Some things around enjoying the process:

One quote

Formula 1 driver Daniel Ricciardo:

“Enjoy the butterflies, enjoy being naive, enjoy the nerves, the pressure and the people not knowing your name, because that’s part of it.

If you stand at the top from day one, there’ll be nothing to look forward to.”

One thought

That deep desire for more in your career/life is not specific to you.

In fact, it is about as universal as it gets.

So do what few others do, and let yourself enjoy what you currently have.

It’ll make the next stage that much better when it does come around.

One image

Harrison Ford got his first starring role aged 35 while working as a carpenter.

He had been hired to read lines for actors auditioning for an upcoming movie, but the director was won over by his performance.

The director was George Lucas and the movie was Star Wars.

Do you think he woke up every day resenting carpentry?

One stat

A one time act of gratitude reduces depressive symptoms by 35%.

Thank yourself for getting things right.

And before you go, one last thing:

Enjoying the process doesn’t mean blind hope in the future.

It means knowing that any new difficulties aren’t evidence of failure.

On the contrary, they mean you’ve reached a new level.
