To build and sustain the enthusiasm and energy to continue building even through the difficult days requires us to focus on the process and let the results come whenever they come.
We must focus on the process of what we are doing. Celebrate every little win and every step in the right direction.
This will train you to associate energizing happiness with the efforts you put forth regardless of the immediate visible success that appears (or doesn’t appear.)
We can’t control the world, but we can control our input (to a certain extent), thus it appears that if we can train our brain to release dopamine and associate happiness with success in sticking with the process, we will be more effective at doing the process, which in the end, will deliver a much better final result.
We’ll be happier while building, we’ll be happier when the results are delivered, we’ll be more steady and more sustained throughout the entire ordeal.
When the process is the goal, you are happier and less tired and you make better stuff.
