Recently, I realized a truth through cycling: all difficulties in persistence are essentially caused by an overly strong sense of goal leading to internal friction. Just like in work and investment, if you only focus on KPIs and results, the process becomes a form of punishment. When you shift your attention back to each step under your feet, to enjoy the rhythm of your muscles and the scenery along the way, flow state naturally occurs. In a flow state, reaching the destination is not about deliberate persistence, but a natural and inevitable result.
