Insight inspired by Principles (Ray Dalio)
Ray Dalio, the leader of Bridgewater, the largest hedge fund in the world, says:
βPain is a signal that you need to find solutions so you can progress.β
To put it even more simply, βPain + Reflection = Progress.β
Instinctively, we want to withdraw from pain but when we do that we miss the opportunity to reflect and learn from our mistakes. Pain + Reflection = Progress.
Most people get comfortable operating without pain. Itβs easier that way. But those who succeed in life embrace the pain, learn from what went wrong, take ownership of it, and eventually see progress.
Action
Reflect & Learn
You cannot improve and be better if you do not reflect on your moments of pain. Think about your main sources of pain in this season (a difficult co-worker, a big project, feedback youβve received, etc.) and take a few moments to reflect on it. What lessons can you learn from the pain?
