Succesful people don't focus on "being successful". They focus on learning and improving their skills and abilities across their domain.

Ability is just a word. So is talent. So is skills. Learning is a process, a mindset, a way of living. That makes all the difference.

Conor's coach has this great quote : "Win or Learn". You are not here to prove competence, but to pursue it. That is the meta-goal.
-
Pehaps no other notion has been so fiercely co-opted by marketers and ad men than the notion of what constitutes success.
-
The true metric of success is a dynamic metric (constant learning), but most are sold on a static metric ($$$, status, achievement, etc.)
-
A static metric is the measure of outcome, a dynamic metric measures performance, and ultimately success depends on great performance.
-
People tend to judge success in themselves and others by evaluating outcomes. This turns out to hinder their success rather than enable it.
-
The psychological reason behind this is simple: You examine a static quality (one single outcome) rather than a dynamic one (performance).
-
When we focus on outcome that focus comes at the expense of focus on process, or performance, which is the only variable within our control.
-
The best predictor of high performance is the propensity or desire for, learning. Those who focus on learning become high performers.
-
Without an inner drive to learn one simply does it in a utilitarian fashion; again the focus is the outcome of learning, not learning itself
-
This is where incentive, motivation, and the emotional dimension of goals and desires comes into play. Learning done for it's own sake.

Out of curiosity, how do you measure learning over time Mr. Mircea?

Fundamentally the measure of change is the measure of learning. As long as you are learning it is impossible not to change.pic.twitter.com/5GibG8p9zc

Learning is 1 aspect of success. Being able to apply the learning in a meaningful way, is a different aspect. One needs to cultivate both!
