I'm training for a marathon right now.
Most people think the goal is crossing the finish line.
It's not.
The real goal is becoming the type of person who trains when nobody is watching.
Every run is a vote for the person I'm becoming.
The medal is nice.
The discipline is better.
Takeaway
Goals change your life, but the habits you build chasing them change who you are.
Final Thought
Fall in love with the process.
