Day 116: On Taking the Low Roa d

The problem with making an extrinsic reward the only destination that

matters is that some people will choose the quickest route there, even if it

means taking the low road.

—Daniel Pink

 

111

Being  obsessed  about  the  outcome  can  help  you  achieve  it  more

quickly, but it carries the risk of achieving unsustainable results, or worse,

ruining your life in the process by taking the low road.

For  example,  consider  a  person  who  wants  to  build  a  successful

business. Their end goal — making a million dollars — is more important

than anything else. They don’t care about the why or how; it’s only money

that  counts.  Whenever  there’s  an  opportunity  to  make  money,  even  if  it’s

unethical, they’ll take it. After all, the end justifies the means, right?

Taking the low road is yet another temptation you must battle on your

journey  toward  success.  There’s  no  glory  in  building  a  business  the

unethical way, ruining your body with an unsustainable, unhealthy diet just

to be slim, or ruining your body forever by taking steroids and other unsafe

medications just to become more muscular.

One  way  to  prevent  this  from  happening  is  to  always  think  of

something bigger than an extrinsic reward as a source of motivation. Think

how working on your goal — not merely reaching it — can improve you as

a person. How much fun it can be or how much meaning it can give to your

life.  Focus  on  those  internal  rewards  in  the  first  place,  and  you’ll  greatly

reduce the risk of giving in to the temptation of taking the low road.
