Does your effort equal your desire?
My desire to perform exceptionally is fueled by many things, one of which is certainly effort. However, the amount of effort I expend mentally and physically is also strongly related to my commitment to always do the best I can; for instance, if I exerted just enough effort to achieve what I desire, then what’s left? There has to be enough of an intrinsic drive to simply do what I do, regardless of what I desire or want. I guess I fall into “revel the journey” camp, as opposed to being singularly focussed on the destination.
