Activity vs Result: How To Ensure Your Daily Joy & Fulfillment

Activity vs Result: How To Ensure Your Daily Joy & Fulfillment

My muse this week has been celebrity sports coach George Mumford who worked with the likes of NBA superstar Kobe Bryant. A key concept he worked with Kobe on was to “do the activity for the activity itself, not the result.” Friends, this has not been the guiding light of my life. I’ve historically looked at all I do as a means to an end. As a pro cyclist I often felt I was enduring 99 miles of racing just to get to the last mile where we went full tilt for the finish line. I unfortunately did a lot of my life like this. And what George coached Kobe in was to enjoy playing basketball. Enjoy it for himself. Taking shots and making baskets is part of playing, so of course do that, but see the glory in the overall playing of the game. And what I’ve realized is if you take this approach, you are guaranteed to win. In my work, if I enjoy the activity, I win every day. Whether I make a billion dollars or become the most influential podcaster in the human potential movement. If I enjoy being a father, I win everyday regardless of the trials of being a parent. If I enjoy my exercises and adventures and grocery shopping and cooking, then I’ve won already. Though as George knew and Kobe found out, the more you enjoy the overall activity, the better your perform as well and it’s what helped Kobe Bryant become one of the greatest players of all time. It’s a win-win proposition. Drive with me a moment to consider how you can do this in your day to day life. Right now. Got a comment or question about an episode?
