“A near win shifts our view of the landscape. It can turn future goals, which we tend to envision at a distance, into more proximate events. We consider temporal distance as we do spatial distance. (Visualize a great day tomorrow and we see it with granular, practical clarity. But picture what a great day in the future might be like, not tomorrow but fifty years from now, and the image will be hazier.)” YearsMightMotivationalTurnsWinningGoalViewsEventsTomorrowDistancePracticalsClarityLandscapeFiftyGreat DaySpatialFuture Goals Book:The Rise: Creativity, the Gift of Failure, and the Search for Mastery Source: The Rise: Creativity, the Gift of Failure, and the Search for Mastery
“Knowing how you actually want to feel is the most potent form of clarity that you can have. Generating those feelings is the most powerfully creative thing you can do with your life. And not only do we have to put our feelings at the heart of our ambitions, we have to pursue our desires in a way that is life-affirming, rather than soul-depleting. Rigid goal-chasing is burning us out. Soul-anchored intentions are the way to get home.” WayWantFeelsHeartSoulFeelingsHomeFormDesireGoalCan DoCreativeKnowingAmbitionIntentionPursueClarityBurningMost PowerfulChasingAffirmingLife Affirming Author:Danielle LaPorte
“My secret for writing is going back to clarity. I'm very clear about what I want to accomplish-the goal-and then the next two are focus and concentration. And I've probably spent my whole life both practicing those two and teaching them. Focus. Focus on a single point and concentration. And concentrating on a single thing till it's done.” WantWritingTwoDoneWholeNextGoalSecretClearFocusTeachingAccomplishWhole LifeClarityConcentrationConcentratingFocus And Concentration Author:Brian Tracy
