Chase the feeling, not just the outcome.

Deep Analysis

The true value of a dream is often found in the person you become and the fulfillment you feel while pursuing it, not solely in the end result.

Application Scenarios

Focus on cultivating the feelings associated with your dream—like purpose, excitement, or growth—in your daily actions, making the pursuit itself rewarding.

Usage Context:

Caption for a 'behind the scenes' or 'process' post
Mindset reminder for entrepreneurs and creators
Discussion starter about intrinsic vs. extrinsic motivation
Personal mantra during a long-term project
Advice for someone feeling discouraged on their path

Deep Reflection

Think of a past goal. What did you learn or how did you grow during the chase? That growth is the lasting treasure.

Practical Tips

In one task today, focus entirely on the positive feeling it brings (e.g., pride in good work, joy in creating) rather than just checking it off a list.

1 Start a 'journey journal' to document how you feel during the process
2 Set 'process goals' (enjoy the work) alongside 'outcome goals' (finish the project)
3 Ask yourself, 'What feeling am I seeking?' when setting a new goal
4 Create a playlist that evokes the feeling of your dream for motivation
5 At the end of each week, note one way the pursuit made you feel good or grow
