He illustrates how envisioning oneself as already having achieved a goal, like becoming a regular runner, can transform effort from an uphill battle to a natural, downhill flow. This shift in self-perception, Cain argues, is often more influential in achieving goals than the effort itself.\\nRead along with the original article(s) here: https://www.raptitude.com/2014/06/effort-alone-isnt-enough/\\nQuotes to ponder:\\n"Every new pursuit seems to be at its most \'uphill\' at the beginning, when you have fewer skills and less confidence than you\'re likely to have for the entire rest of the path."\\n"The real key to success is reaching a place where you feel like a runner before any additional adversity derailed you."\\n"Who you feel like you are determines, at every moment, what actions feel reasonable and unreasonable, doable and not doable, natural and contrived, uphill and downhill."\\nEpisode references:\\nHow to Visualize Your New Reality \\u2013 Steve Pavlina: https://stevepavlina.com/blog/2009/11/how-to-visualize-your-new-reality/\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
