Please join me to celebrate the 150th episode of The Happiness Hunter Podcast!

In this episode I'm reflecting on the experience of bringing this podcast to life every single week for nearly three years; through a global pandemic, pivoting the business, moving home three (!!!) times, lockdowns, home-schooling and many, many 4am starts to get it published to deadline.

Creating anything of any substance or meaning takes time and requires effort. There are no shortcuts.

When we play the long game, we set an intention, get clear on our vision. And then we just show up and take consistent action - no matter what - until our vision is realised. 

If we are only motivated by external measures of success, then we will never succeed at the long game.

The rewards for playing the long game are many, but mostly they are not external - certainly not in the beginning.

As you go along playing the long game, you realise that the real reward tends to be more intrinsic - developing self esteem, confidence, self-belief, trust, patience.

Being willing to stick at things when the shine has worn off and you are just plugging away, requires determination.

Yet these are things that no-one can take from you. Once they are developed, they belong to you.  

And that is the real prize. To become the person for whom it is possible.
