"What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals."
Henry David Thoreau
I always loved this quote. It reminds me that if I focus on the who, both momentary failures and victories become life lessons. They are all steps on the never-ending journey to realise my uniqueness.
But to me, it is also an invitation to fall in love with the process. If all your attention is aimed at the final result, then a failure will make you feel you've wasted your time. And a victory may feel hollow due to its fleeting nature. But when you are in love with the process, failures and successes are just moments. Handy ones, indeed, as they help you check your journey and maybe make some adjustments for the future.
