tell me something, ever, feel like you're constantly chasing some
finish line like success? Is this ultimate destination we're all
(00:23):
sprinting towards and if we don't get there, well, let's
just say it feels like falling short. We're obsessed with goals, milestones,
hitting that next level, right, But what happens when we
reach the peak? What about the journey itself? It's easy
to get so caught up in the woodsnicks that we
forget to appreciate where we are and how far we've
already come. That's what we're diving into today, focusing on

the process, learning from every step, and recognizing that truthful

idea together. One embrace the ups and downs. Life is

view them as learning opportunities. Each challenge you overcome, each
obstacle you navigate, makes you stronger, more resilient, and ultimately wiser.

(01:32):
celebrations for the big achievements, right, but what about those
little victories that get us there. Acing a tough presentation,

a picture for you. Imagine a marathon runner. Sure the

thing that matters. What about the training, the sweat, the dedication,
