Love the Process

Often we get in a routine where it becomes easy to just say, ‘fuck it, I’m out.’ In society these days we have so much of everything that many things we truly want and value don’t seem to be worth too much. Going to a movie doesn’t mean anything if I can just stream it at home. Buying an album is just clicking a button. So much of what we do and say in life becomes meaningless because it’s so interchangeable.

When you enter the arena of the gym things have a finite value. At your job things might be that way too; whether it’s fixing a car or filing reports, some things are concrete. However, we tend to think of being goal-oriented as the non-stop journey toward something, instead of the way we get there. It’s not always about the end result, it’s about the process.

If you want abs. If you want a promotion. Hell, if you want to live another day-it doesn’t come automatically and you don’t earn it by accident. Whatever you want in life, has to come at a price and you pay that price by following the process.

You have to be IN LOVE with the process. I don’t care if you’re trying to lose 10 pounds or 100 pounds, if you don’t learn to enjoy the process of dieting and exercising, you will not lose a pound. If you focus so much on the end result, you will be miserable during the process and wind up achieving very little. Loving the end result is a fallacy your mind creates to get you on the road to glory, the real achievement and the very real, tangible results come on the road along the way.

Ask yourself, “what do I want to accomplish?” Write it down.

It’s irrelevant. It doesn’t matter what you want right now.

Now ask yourself, “what am I willing do to get there?”

Now you can start to be honest about your goals, because 100% of the price you pay to achieve that dream comes from the process so if you are not bought into that, you will achieve nothing.

People aren’t willing to pay the price because they just see an image of where they want to be, not what they have to go through. Keep it 100 with yourself, the people in your circle and your followers about what you want to do, but don’t ever lose sight of the cost-you pay it in blood, sweat and tears.

Don’t be afraid to be obsessed with achieving your dreams, but make sure you know what it takes to get there. I believe you can do it though, the power is within you-LET IT OUT!
