More than enough time
This equates the value of trying with the outcome of the activity. In this thinking, it’s only worthwhile if we finish, if we succeed. This diminishes our efforts, because it means trying is only worth it if we get the outcome we want.
What if there’s value in trying, no matter what the outcome?
What if putting ourselves into something is valuable because it expands us, because we learn, or because the activity itself is worth savoring?
Needed this reminder. I make this mistake every single day.
