The Progress Is In The Process

A few things I’ve learned the past year:
Talk about your goals. Have the ambition to set them high and the perseverance to always follow through. But most importantly, fall in love with the process that occurs along the way. Life is a journey, not a checklist. There will always be challenges, obstacles, and lessons to be learned. Let those things make you wiser, make you stronger, and make you more grounded in your visions and values. And while it is important to always keep your long-term goals in check, never forget that your life is still happening right in front of you. Make each day count. Never give less than 100%. Say thank-you more than necessary. Smile at strangers. You get out of life what you put in- so do what makes you happy, and do it to your fullest potential. Love when you’re learning, love when you’re growing, and love when you’re succeeding. Because if you don’t love the process, the results will never be enough to keep you happy.
