When determination meets with preparation, going through a process becomes a little bearable.
Note that, I didn’t say it becomes easy, no, I said it becomes bearable. With determination and preparation, when discouragement comes (because it will), you can remember how and why you started in the first place. I always ask people, “What motivates you?” Whatever motivates you will determine how you will endure your process. So, I am asking you, as I often ask myself, “What motivates you?”
If you understand the “What”, you can always explain the “How.” The process involves a lot of “Hows.” How do you get it done? How do you attain it? How do you heal? How do you settle this? How do you love? and so on.
Understand the “What” and you can go through the “How.”
Like I was saying about Steemit in the last post, it has different stages too. You start out new, as a Plankton, then a Minnow, then to an Orca, then Dolphin, and I guess a Whale? What I am trying to say here is, you have to go through each of those stages and you can’t jump. Even if you decide to buy a lot of Steem Power, it is still a process. You still go from a reputation of 25 upwards.
Never skip or ignore processes. Go through them and understand why you need to go through them. If you don’t go through them, how can you share your story? How can you come out refined? How can you pass your lessons to others?
Let us take a familiar story about gold. Many of us know the hard processes gold has to pass through in order to be mined and refined. When gold passes through that process, no one would love to identify with it, but when it comes out, everyone wants a piece, and the desire to hold and own it increases.
The same thing with what we are going through, when we go through the process, it is ALWAYS unpleasant. In fact, always with pain, but then, how can you come out refined if you can’t withstand the fire? How can you sustain the success, if you cannot withstand the pain? How can you have a story to tell, when you can’t stand the process?
The difference between charcoal, diamonds, and gold is all about their process, and it explains a lot about their values too. Charcoal need less fire than a diamond or gold needs. Meaning diamonds and gold requires a lot of processes so as to be refined and come out better, compared to that of charcoal. The more fire it endures, the better it becomes.
So, the more life throws at you, the better it would be for you. Your refined outcome will be so desirable that you will be thankful you went through the process because you will be highly sought after. Never wish your supposedly hard process shouldn’t have come to you because if you do, it means you are saying you lack the capacity. Let every man run their race and each man go through their own processes.
