S8Ep1 - Hard Won Wisdom: Decades in the Arena - Winning & Losing On Your Terms


Listen Later

How do we define success? How do we evaluate if we’ve succeeded, regardless of our level of experience or talent--novice or advanced, amateur or elite?  Niki and Gillian explore this important question and related topics.

Gillian discusses how she felt more pride when she lost certain events but less pride when she won but knew she left something on the table.  

She also explores learning what you’re good at and enjoy and balancing your pursuits with the other important things in your lifes, such as your relationships, which can often suffer in the pursuit of excellence.  

Gillian discusses the many arenas in which she’s competed and pushed herself, including attempting to set pull up and push up world records on the same day (about 20 minutes apart, actually).  

This topic applies to any pursuit, any experience or talent level, and anyone.
