Success Is Not An End State — It’s An Infinite Game
Infinite game players don’t fixate on short-term goals
Unless you are planning to retire from growth, think of success as a collection of meaningful experiences — an accumulation of small and progressive wins.
Make success an infinite game — where you focus on making progress or accumulating incremental wins.
Julian Shapiro was right, “Success is having the freedom to pursue the continual grind you most enjoy.”
If you make it a long game, stick to experiences, projects, activities or creative pursuits that hardly feel like a chore. “People rarely succeed unless they have fun in what they are doing.” Dale Carnegie once observed.
Success is not a permanent state, so strive to be better in your own way.
Better means you are aiming for constant improvement — a far better goal than one-time results. Better also suggests you in it for the long haul.
If you aim to keep succeeding, don’t sprint — plan for a marathon that fully engages your senses, abilities and strengths.
