Find Joy IN The Process, Not Results
Clay Green
Learn and implement the secrets of successful leaders. Are you in a..., starting a..., or do you WANT - a transition? **I support the US Constitution as a Veteran, and I stand WITH Ukraine. Can't be 'normal' these days.
Mr. McConaughey, and many, many, others have said it time and time again: When you fall in love with the process, you will posses the success you desire.
Matt speaks of it often - he tried and tried, working HARD to 'get the gold', or attain credit and public acclaim for his work. Famously, on set of Dazed and Confused he not only acted great, but he also lost his Dad during that movie's production.
That was also the source of his famous quote: "Keep On Living". And that was when he started integrating 'joy'. He fell in love with doing his BEST, now. Not thinking about doing his best for the glory, or money, or whatever. But putting his most into living, NOW.
The ability to become truly present and execute is something we ALL strive for. Yes, YOU TOO!
Contemplate it a moment...
When was the last time you CRUSHED IT, at something? Did you ENJOY that moment?
Maybe it was a pickup game of basketball, maybe it was during the birth of a child? Maybe it was a skiing vacation, that one run you still vividly remember to this day!?
Maybe you're a barista? Maybe it was that one time, when you pulled that ONE amazing cup of coffee?
THAT level of focus and attention, in the moment, causes things to happen - what? Can you recall what was happening when you were that zoned in? How did it FEEL?
Next question - do you experience that enough in your life?
Do you want to experience it more?
Your ability to focus your mind is the path.
Either way you want to go - you may prefer to find more joy in what you do everyday now, or if you may be looking to change what you do.
Your ability to focus your mind, thereby your energy, on your desired outcome is the only thing you have.
Recently I spoke with a new client and he shared that he's had success after success in his life - by chance! Clearly describing how he just happened into all these great opportunities, seemingly presented to him by outside circumstances.
Of course, upon reviewing the details of each random circumstance, we pulled back the veil and exposed how each situation was really the next step he was focused upon - up to and including being on that call with me!
Another example? When I was 20 years old I started an adventure that led me to a reactor plant control panel!
Unlike all my other classmates, I didn't go straight to sea after training. Instead, they picked ME to stay behind and help other students on that journey! yep - the US Navy taught me how to most effectively train people to FOCUS through incredible challenges and distractions!
Sitting, for 6 hours at a time, staring at that panel - FOCUSED, anticipating what each needle would do, when each light would or wouldn't blink, all based on thousands of factors filling my head at once - and if I saw something go outside the expected - IMMEDIATE actions were required.
That level of focus was my first foray into trained and conditioned management of the state of flow. Did I know that at the time? HECK NO!
Today, however, I can see that I've spent my life helping people enter and exit that level of focus, safely.
What does that have to do with 'joy'??? Don't forget - YOU focused, YOU performing, YOU 'crushing it', is YOU IN FLOW!
Do you want more of that in your life? Stay tuned! About 3 times a year I invite a select group of individuals to train in this process. This is not an 'online class' - it's WAY to personal of a journey. I can't tell you all the gory details here and now, but I can give you TWO enabling, powerful, and life changing links!
