Too often in life we focus on results. We focus so much on results that we lose sight of the point of our actions. In the moment, we invest too much into one event that it either discourages us, or paralyzes us completely with anxiety. Well, I’m tired of it; I rather trust in the process.
The process is the steps toward the goal — the actions you need to take for the outcome you want. In life, there are tons of events that can happen, and there are tons of opportunities we wish to be prepared for. These outcomes, even the opportunities, are not under your control, but one thing is definitely under your control — the actions you take.
Anytime you put the effort in, you get valuable feedback. You learn, you grow, you improve. Eventually, you’ll accomplish your goal, or be ready for the opportunity when the time comes. But, that requires patience, bravery, and most importantly confidence. Confidence to take the steps even if it fills you with anxiety. Because, the way to the goal has no shortcuts. The lessons can only be learned in the arena of life, where your process can be tempered, improved, and eventually bring you to your goal.
