Excellent piece, Esther.

I agree with you - the outcome is what we calibrate our lives to. We may do this once in our lives or multiple times but it's what keeps us moving forward.

I also agree that we can't hyper-focus on the outcome and ignore the process - the journey.

Outcomes, goals, objectives - they provide immediate purpose to any activity. Going to a favorite place for a great pastrami sandwich is a lot better than just getting something to eat.

Cheers, Esther.
