Sarah Lewis: Embrace the near win

Embrace the near win

The pursuit of mastery reveals the beauty of the unfinished, urging us to see value in near wins and the paths they open.

Embracing near wins catalyzes mastery more than outright success, transforming our pursuit of excellence and creativity.

The concept of 'near win' shifts our focus, urging continuous growth and learning, rather than settling at current achievements.
