Your Ego is the Enemy
Choosing to detach from an outcome, can seem extremely conflictual, and it is hard for people to understand.\nOne of the common questions I get is this: \u201cHow do you have goals yet remain detached from an outcome?\u201d The truth is, I\u2019m very driven toward the goals I set.\xa0\nI try to take my ego and time, two driving factors for many, out of my goal setting. What I do is this: I set a goal, and at the same time, I detach my happiness from the goal.\nI do not create an immediate plan to get to my goal. My plan, when I start out, is simply to provide value toward that overall goal every single day, making sure I put forth a minimum amount of effort toward the achievements I want and \u201craising the bar\u201d each day as I proceed, in order to build momentum.
