My passion is to share what I have learned in the past 3 years during my self-improvement journey, which helped me recover from my divorce, and to pass on this knowledge to young men.

The Differences Between Performance Goals and Mastery Goals.

Andrew Che

Performance goals:

They need external validation.
They involve extrinsic motivation (appearances, compliments, recognition).
They become demotivating when you don't achieve them.
They are outside of your control.

Mastery goals:

They focus on learning.
They concentrate on mastering the process.
External validation is irrelevant.
There is an emphasis on the joy of doing the activity itself.
You are more likely to feel good about your own progression regardless of outcomes.

For example, instead of setting a goal of dropping body fat by 8%, I set my goal as mastery practice, executing a well-designed meal plan.
