Today’s quote is about understanding the nature of the challenge you face. If you don’t understand what you are up against, you can give it all you have, and end up worse off than when you started.
If your boat is pointed the wrong way, no amount of rowing will get you to where you want to go and it’s even worse when you misidentify your goal. You’ll row your heart out, only to find that you’re in the wrong place. That’s a great way to destroy your motivation.
This applies to so many aspects of our lives. From setting goals to projects to relationships, the list is practically endless. Is your project car going to be for drag racing or street driving? If you don’t know, you’ll almost certainly build the wrong car.
It’s about effort & efficiency. That putting in more energy or working harder isn’t necessarily beneficial if you’re not in line with your goals.
Take the time for reflection. Assess where you are headed vs where you want to go.
