Professional achievement doesn’t heal you. We’ve all watched enough Behind The Music documentaries to know that.
But we think we’re the exception. We’re still surprised when we achieve the thing but are still the same as we were. We think life will be different…we think WE will be different after reaching the summit.
None of us are the exception.
And yet that shouldn’t deter us from achievement. Rather, it can cause us to be more focused and intentional on exactly what we’re doing and what we (and others) will gain as a result…and what won’t be gained as a result.
It’s worth telling ourselves the truth about achievement.
