“Growth happens when you are not watching.”
Have you heard the story about the Master Farmer who always had the best Corm crops? Year in year out from that 1st year, he started his dream of becoming a farmer, which was the scariest leap of faith he had ever taken; his seeds grew perfectly, his farm flourished remarkably.

Spend it on the obsessive calibration of the progress in relation to the end goal, and you are sure to waste precious Creative-energy.
A wise way to utilize your creative power is focusing on day-to-day success, which has everything to do with the Process. What needs to be done every day is how you measure your movement towards goal completion.
Whether the goal, objective, or mission is to:
It doesn’t matter much. The Success blueprint is the same. Your focus must be put entirely on the Process once the goal is set and the “How” is clarified.

“When one moves confidently in the direction of their dreams, endeavoring to live the life they imagined, they will pass an invisible boundary meeting with success in the common hour.” (Henry David Threau)
