STOP WISHING FOR GOOD, START WORKING FOR GREAT.
Trust the process has become a catchphrase in everybody’s life. Follow the process and not rush through it is what people need to follow. I believe that there is no such thing as an overnight success. It takes time, it takes discipline. You need to be focused for what you want. Just don’t indulge into things to put them in your bio to make things captivating for others to see or to show people who are in process to be able to do that. No wonder the internet shows you ‘ how to be successful in 3 steps ‘ or ‘ how to learn that language in 7 days ‘ or ‘ how to loose fat by just doing 3 excercise ‘ all these things seem attractive and easy for us. Do you remember, while driving how we take the short cuts to reach our destination quickly? Exactly, If they start telling you that ‘ master this language in 8 months ‘ or ‘ follow these 100 steps everyday to be perfect ‘ nobody has the patience to do it that way.
I remember once a lady went to a market place and asked a man to make an earthen pot for her. The man handing it over to the lady said it would cost you 200 bucks. The lady replied how come you can charge me 200 bucks that hardly took you 2 minutes. The reply was incredible, he said it took him 20 years to do that in 2 minutes. It’s amazing how that unforgettable and invisible world beyond the bottom of the earth and beneath the sea, the part you don’t see is actually made up of what you see today. So , when you go for such short term achievements it shows that you don’t value growth, learning, discipline, struggle and efforts. Our obsession of just winning shows how pathetic we are to just not trust the process and letting it go.
When i say effort it is internal you have the control over it, that’s something you can do. Let’s take an example, suppose that you made a commitment and started the 21/90 rule but you left it at 10. That’s lack of discipline and motivation. Once again, you decide to do it but now you need to start that all over again because you didn’t trust the process! No wonder why people love the short-term happiness which is instant and easy rather than the long term which requires vision and patience. But both are important! Small goals make you motivated but big ones build your confidence.
As it is a said that everytime you are stuck and find a way to walk through a door it gets bigger but the force to push it, gets heavier just to check your conscience, your ability and how passionate you are. Our desire to achieve our goals is tested. You don’t have the option to quit, the only thing you have is to trust the process and have faith in what you are doing. So stop amplifying your hours of sadness rather than your seconds of happiness.
