Stop staring at how far you have to go. Dan Sullivan calls this the gap, and it kills motivation. Look in the rearview mirror instead. The gain, your actual progress, is what keeps you moving.
Look in the rearview mirror every once in a while. We love to look ahead. We're aiming aspirational creatures, and we're always looking out that windshield, even though the windshield's really dirty because we don't wash it regularly. And we don't take enough time to look in the rearview mirror to see how much ground we've already covered. We pay way more attention to the gap than we do to the game. That's a Dan Sullivan line.
