Some goals are easy to measure, and some require more effort. In the process of growing, we often forget to notice the baby steps we ARE taking, and get frustrated or downtrodden instead of celebrating growth.

3:00 there were these tangible changes that are easily quantifiable and that I could explain to a five-year-old because you can see them and then there were a lot of intangible changes. the tangible things for example where some things starting a business changes to my body composition as I've started CrossFit, hard skills courses created skills learned on things that I can explain now to people because of the skills that I learned
and then there are intangible things like emotional resilience. Deeper Self-knowledge. and so, I wanted to create an episode on these two kinds of results of changes that we can create in our lives and offer why you may want to change the way you see the process of evolution to include more of these intangibles.
so, like I said there are two kinds of results. Two kinds of things or goals that you can have in your life. the first kind is the obvious kind which is what I call a creation result. these are tangible super measurable facts real facts about things like amount of money that you have changes in your body composition with weight loss and muscle gain or whatever. the number of people in your social networks. books written books sold courses completed certifications obtained that kind of thing.
these are the kinds of results that we tend to get really focused on because they're easy to measure. and I'm all for achieving the thing making it happen it's so fun to see something that you worked so hard on come to fruition. and the amount of time that you spend in the joy or satisfaction of that creation does not last very long.
our emotional Baseline is created by the quality and intention of how we are giving ourselves credit for being results. which is the second kind of results. let me say that again. emotional Baseline is created by the quality and intention of how we give ourselves credit for the being results.
being results such as changes in day-to-day emotional state like feeling less anxious, more confident, walking naturally taller, having more ease, and smiling at people on the street. raising your hand more often and meetings may be speaking at a slower more intentional tone when you get angry. more often at the people who drive slower instead of getting pissed off. or something that I do frequently is when I noticed my road rage coming in, I make a funny explanation for them. like yeah, I probably just must go pee that's why they cut me off.
these are states of being without a special lens or special attention tentacle undervalued or unnoticed. so, let's say you have a goal of saving money. some examples of being results might be planning more intentionally for what you'll spend. noticing when you want to spend money on something that you don't really want. noticing when you feel icky when you do spend money and deciding to release that scarcity and shift into more gratitude for being able to pay for the thing.
feeling more comfortable accepting money for your services, or even being more open to receiving in general. being at compliments hugs gifts attention whatever. it all ties together. may be feeling more, he's talking about finances with your partner. this is the general attitude around money versus the actual number in your bank account.
