Description

Have you ever found yourself on a treadmill of ambition, running tirelessly after each new goal without taking a moment to breathe and appreciate the present? Join me, Carla Hudson, as we unpack the often-ignored splendor of the journey towards our life's aims and the art of self-appreciation. As we navigate the push-and-pull of personal drive and satisfaction, I'll share stories and professional insights to help us all find peace in the present while keeping an eye on the future.

This episode takes a page from Dan Sullivan's "The Gap and the Gain," co-authored with Dr. Benjamin Hardy, to explore the shift in mindset from always chasing the horizon to turning around and marveling at the ground we've covered. Through conversations and excerpts from the audiobook, I'll guide you through the transformative process of measuring success by the strides we've made rather than the daunting distance ahead. By refocusing our perspective, we learn to sidestep the pitfalls of perpetual dissatisfaction and foster a healthier view of our achievements and worth.

The climb up the corporate ladder, the relentless pursuit of personal milestones—these are paths fraught with the peril of overlooking the now. In this episode, we dissect the fleeting euphoria of promotions and the importance of recognizing our intrinsic value beyond professional accomplishments. I invite you to savor the present moment with me and discover the joy that's rooted not in future achievements but in the rich tapestry of life as it unfolds. Together, we'll redefine what it means to be successful and perhaps, in the process, alter the way we measure success for good.
