RE: The road to Success isn’t Mario Kart. It’s sludge, and it’s worth it.
You don't play Mario Kart just for crossing the finish line. The whole process is fun! Life should be the same. Work doesn't have to feel like work.
It only does when we are no clear what it is we want and we don't choose wisely how to get there. "Being rich" isn't really a fulfilling goal, it's just like crossing that finish line. You'll feel good when you get there....and then what. So "getting rich" doesn't really serve as good motivation for most people to have passion in the dirty details because it doesn't carry any emotional weight.
Spot on, and ultimately any GOAL is only reason people want a goal is that underlying feeling they think is lacking...which is what you're saying when 'getting rich' isn't really good motivation.
Ironically, if they had more of that feeling in their lives [or cultivate more of it] the GOAL would be closer for them to reach .
We're all driven by our feelings.
And a GOAL is only worth pursuing for WHO you have to become to reach it, and the skills it will help you cultivate... if the FEELING is the reason you want it so bad, then the real question is... what's causing that lack of feeling to begin with?
Thanks for your input
