Enjoy the trophy tonight. Tomorrow it’s just furniture.
RESILIENCE
RESILIENCE
Achievements have a short window where they actually feel like something, and then they settle into the background of your house and your history. That is not sad, it is just how attention works. Knowing it lets you take the good part fully instead of expecting it to last.
When something goes well, stop and have the evening. Call the people who helped, eat the meal, let it be finished. Then go back to work without waiting for the win to keep paying you a feeling it was never going to keep paying.
What did you do the morning after your best win?
Free, with nothing to buy inside it.
