Is true happiness found at the destination, or is it woven into the journey itself?

In this episode, we challenge the common obsession with outcomes and explore the profound idea that "the pursuit is the prize."

Discover how to find more meaning, joy, and sustainable motivation by focusing on the process. We delve into building habits from scratch (even when motivation feels like "wet wood"), the power of curiosity, the impact of small wins, and why your "why" must be bigger than any excuse. Learn to transition from external rewards to intrinsic values, the crucial (and often neglected) role of rest, and how to build robust support systems and manage willpower effectively.

If you're ready to redefine success and cultivate a more engaged and fulfilling life, this conversation offers practical strategies to find joy in the everyday pursuit of your goals.

Key topics covered:

Journey vs. Destination mindset
Habit formation from "zero to one"
Sparking motivation with curiosity
Intrinsic vs. Extrinsic motivation
The importance of rest
Building willpower and support systems
Finding your "why"
