How often do you measure success by whether you achieved a specific result? You want to hit a particular number - on your watch, or your floor scale, or in your bank account.
And you have to hit that number 100%, 99% doesn’t count.
You set expectations for yourself and then heroically try to meet them. And if you don’t, you get discouraged and blame yourself.
But let me ask you - what if those expectations were unrealistic in the first place? What if this number was impossible to hit no matter how hard you try?
I am here to tell you - there is a better way to measure success.
In this episode, I’m sharing the story of how I spontaneously decided to run a 5K race, the first ever in my life, how I did not come in first, or second, or even third, and how it still became something that I am super proud of.
