Scottie Scheffler, ‘What is the point?’ - how to find fulfilment and purpose in the journey

Описание: The world number one golfer just summed up a struggle so many driven people face — and it’s exactly what I explore in my motivational keynote talks: how to take ownership of your motivations, so you have clarity on what you want out of the journey, not just the destination. 🧭

🗣️ “What’s the point? This is not a fulfilling life. It’s fulfilling from the sense of accomplishment, but it’s not fulfilling from a sense of the deepest places of your heart.”
— Scottie Scheffler

We’ve all heard it before:
👉 It’s the journey, not the destination, that counts.
But here’s the thing — we don’t act like it. Why? Because the journey is abstract, and the destination is tangible.

To become happier, hardier, and more successful, we need to make the journey tangible. Here's how I help people do that in my framework — by labelling the intrinsic goals the journey facilitates:

🔹 Challenge
🔹 Experience
🔹 Relationships
🔹 Causes
🎒 For example: if you're going on a hike and your only goal is to reach the summit 🏔️, then the climb feels like suffering. The top gives you just a fleeting moment of happiness.

But if you go in saying:
💪 "I want to challenge myself"
🌿 "I'm here for the experience of being in nature"
🤝 "I love the camaraderie of pushing for a shared goal"
❤️ "Let's raise money for a cause I care about"

...then suddenly, the journey has meaning. The discomfort becomes part of the purpose — and maybe even something joyful. You’re more likely to finish and feel fulfilled when you do.

💼 The same is true at work.
It’s not just about sales targets or salaries.

Ask yourself:
✅ Am I feeling challenged?
✅ Does my work give me unique and interesting experiences?
✅ Do I enjoy the team effort?
✅ Does it serve a greater cause?

Define the journey, so it really can be about the journey — not the destination.
And then that haunting question — “What’s the point?” — answers itself. 🙌
