Very well said, Andrew. The effort put into a task is the most rewarding and beneficial part of accomplishing something. This is a mentality I really hope to instill in my kids. Be proud of the effort you put into something, not always the outcome. Even an undesirable outcome can have huge benefits on your life and learning given the skills you’ve developed along the way.
Ultimately you get what you put in. Karma is positive too and effort is rewarded. I do wish my younger self understood that mistakes are information. And that you get nothing by not trying.
Beautiful post. Effort is also hard wired. We may be seduced into complacency but it is not our natural state. Willful pursuit circa 3-4 months old! There is a formula: attractor->inspiration->effort. https://homecookedanalysis.substack.com/p/the-joy-of-will.
Awesome! Love this!
