Summary
Being goal oriented might not be the most effective way to achieve your goals. In fact, I don't think it is! In today's episode, we're talking about the difference between goal oriented and growth oriented and how the latter is likely a far more powerful, lasting approach to creating change.
Being growth oriented doesn't mean you don't care about your goals and it certainly doesn't mean you won't reach them. It means that you'll enjoy the journey more and you'll optimize who you are instead of merely trying to manipulate what you choose.

| 0:47.2 | but also and to me more importantly, enjoy the process more. |
| 0:53.9 | I've said it before, if you are not enjoying the journey, you're doing it wrong. |
| 1:01.1 | It doesn't matter to me if your goal is to eat better, to lose weight, to change your |

| 1:13.6 | If you are not enjoying the journey, you are doing it wrong and you are running a very |
| 1:19.5 | high risk of not keeping up, not continuing to do the work or not maintaining any results |
| 1:27.8 | that you achieve because we are naturally drawn to things we enjoy. |
| 1:35.2 | And we are hardwired to shrink away from and avoid things that we do not enjoy. |
