I first heard about the Olympic sport of Curling when I saw a video on how Curling stones are made.

A recent article on Curling helped me see this sport in a different and more profound light.

In Curling, one player pushes forward a round Curling stone on an icy floor and sets it in a forward motion over the sheet of granular ice pebbles. It is then the job of two other players to vigorously scrape ice in front of this moving stone to give it direction and help it reach the goalpost.

Our projects, missions, and life goals work the same way.

Once you give a project or goal the first push and set it in motion, your job's not done yet. Your job then is to scrape any icy friction in front of it to give your goal direction and help it reach the finish line.

The Curling stone is your project, your vision, and your objective. You have to pave the way for it to reach your desired finish line without getting stuck midway.

Once you visualise your projects and goals like this, they transform from being a long toil to simply clearing blockers to help you move a little further.

Try it. And if you get stuck in the middle, this blog post on goal gradients might help.

Finally, I've edited all chapters of my book, Kokoro, and am working on typesetting everything into a beautiful package.

After months of work, I can finally see my vision transform into a book I would love to binge-read on a cosy Sunday afternoon.

If you have pre-ordered your copy, you'll receive a package containing the eBook and some bonus materials by next week or the week after.

If you haven't had a chance to pre-order yet or are new here, you can still pre-order my upcoming eBook at an early-supporter price of $20 before the launch.
