Learning To Love The Process Of Achieving Your Goals
In today’s faster-than-FAST society, goals can steal the show from what is meant to be a fundamental part of our development: and that’s JOURNEY. Words such as “Don’t seek the goal, enjoy the process” hit us hard these days because so much we hurry to achieve can lead us drained and disenchanted. Focusing on the process is key, due to not only your growth but also leading a sustainable life.
Celebrating Small Wins
It might also lead to tunnel vision and you will forget all the small wins that happened on your way. All the steps in your journey are adding to who you have become. Celebrating these small wins will help you create more accomplishment and fulfillment. Be it the discovery of new mastery, doing something difficult or just ensuring that you continue to ride through; being able to recognize them can serve as fuel for your motivation and fortitude.
Learning and Growth
Many lessons often enter our lives in the path of a goal. It also means welcoming the process to try new things, face obstacles and figure out solutions. These experiences not only expand your wisdom but also character. By centering your focus on the journey, you increase the chances for being presented with opportunities that would have went unnoticed otherwise (due to tunnel vision while chasing a particular outcome).
Building Meaningful Connections
It is not only about growing as a person, but also the relationships that we form while doing so. Your peers, mentors and champions combine to create a circle of support who cheer you on along the way. Experiencing challenges and victories together, helps to create a family atmosphere which makes the journey more enjoyable and less of an isolating one.
Conclusion
The next time you are so focused on achieving a goal, stop for a moment and see the beauty in that journey. Savoring each step of the way not only increases your chances for success but it also fills you in places that goals can never do alone. That in the end, it’s not just where you’re headed; It is how will get there! Learn to enjoy the journey as much as you desire the result.
