View working towards goals as a learning tool
from Finish What You Start: The Art of Following Through, Taking Action, Executing, & Self-Discipline by Peter Hollins
How to Apply This
-
View your endeavors as quests for knowledge - ask yourself, “What can I learn from this?”
Viewing life as a series of lessons takes the fear out of failing because you still gain knowledge. -
When you face a challenge, be curious about which strategy will overcome it.
If you don’t follow through and learn how to work around the challenge, you gain no knowledge. -
Commit to trial-and-error, learning through experience.
If you fail, you learn what doesn’t work and gain valuable skills and information that enables you to try again with better success. -
When you have reached your goal, evaluate your experience.
Not only have you finished, but you have also overcome difficulties, learned new strategies, and gained valuable skills and experiences.
