Today's Tonic: Success Should be a Side-Effect

“The man who loves walking will walk further than the man who loves the destination.”

- Lau Tzu

Achievement comes easy to the person who loves the journey.

But extraordinarily difficult to the person who only loves the destination. 

When you love what you’re doing, you do it more. You do it better. Success is only a side-effect of your passion and drive.

If you don’t enjoy the process, remember: you’re up against people who do enjoy the process.

Find what you love enough to suffer for.

Then suffer. 

“The purpose of life is to find a mode of being so meaningful that the fact that life's suffering itself is no longer relevant.” - Jordan Peterson

This Week’s Riddle

The strongest people cannot hold me for more than 5 minutes even though I am the lightest thing. What am I?

This Week’s Journaling Prompt

Reflect on a time when you pursued a goal not for the outcome, but for the love of the journey itself. How did it feel? What did you learn about yourself and your passions through this process? How can you adopt this mindset towards current goals could reshape your approach to challenges and success.

This Week’s Challenge

This week, challenge yourself to embark on an activity purely for the joy of doing it, not for any outcome or reward it might bring. It could be as simple as taking a walk in nature, writing a poem, or learning something new without any pressure to excel. Pay attention to how this activity makes you feel. Notice if this approach changes your perception of success and the journey towards it.
