The Satisfaction of Practice in an Achievement-Oriented World

“Satisfaction practice” shifts our self-concept from someone who doesn’t do enough to someone who accomplishes something every time she works.

This is what I call satisfaction practice. We focus on what we have, rather than what we lack, what we’ve done rather than what we need to do. We give our accomplishments weight, even if they seem puny at first, for, like a snowball rolling downhill, our accomplishments gather bulk and momentum as we focus on them.
