Do it for life—enjoy the journey and the goal#

When you reach your goal, be sure to take time to enjoy what you have achieved. Whether it’s for work or recreation, find ways to use what you’ve learned. When you use your knowledge, you reinforce your self-image as someone who can learn fast, overcome obstacles and reach goals you set for yourself. This often provides a high sense of satisfaction.

Make sure you also enjoy the journey to your goals. As you improve your learning state, for example, you soon realize it has other positive benefits on your life. Enjoy them. As the techniques start working for you, realize you are already reaching small goals by applying what you have learned from this book. Take time to enjoy what you are learning. Look back occasionally at the ground you have covered and the challenges you have overcome. Celebrate your milestones. Often it’s the journey that makes the destination worthwhile, so enjoy it as you progress.

When you have reached your goal, remember that you need to review what you’ve learned if you are not using it regularly. If you want to keep it for life, make sure you put in some effort to create tools and material for faster reviews later. Distractions in life may prevent you from using what you have learned for a while. Having these review materials available makes it easier to refresh your training when you need to.

All these activities can help you continue using what you’ve learned, and enjoy it for the rest of your life!
