Comment on Two Growth Curves

I concur with the need to focus on the process instead of the end-goal. Just to add on: I realised one day that my main mentors made their success look too easy, and were thus unrelatable. I then found a mentor who made his arduous years to success a theme that he regularly discussed, and naturally I found him more relatable and thus found myself learning more from him.

Also, having low expectations always helps me grow. Guy Spier gave advice to ask yourself "Am I closer to my goal today than I was yesterday?" And if the answer is 'yes' (however minuscule) then you should consider it progress. This allows me to incrementally grow and move towards my goals, which means that in the long-term I get the results I want (yay) instead of the common high-expectations-no-results route.
