Achievement doesn’t matter. What matters is effort. When we praise high achievement then there are winners and losers. When we praise effort then we see contributions, we see an arc, we see a journey and not a destination. We create co-dependency relationship when we seek validation. When the awards and accolades don’t come, we think there is something wrong with me. It’s getting harder and harder to compete. Only one first place, only one Nobel. But the warriors journey is long and wide open.
