Trust the PROCESS

Understanding that the most valuable things in life take time to build is the key to our personal development. Our health, relationships, finances, and big personal goals are all the result of consistent, long-term habits.

Think of it as delayed gratification on your goals and move the the focus away from the end result, to the process - the series of habits involved.

It is often the need for instant gratification that knocks us off our path. Whether it’s an impulse purchase setting us back from our financial goal, that petrol station cookie that’s knocking us back from our weight-loss goal or the constant threat of Netflix-and-chill that’s making us lose sight of our fitness goal…

Setbacks are inevitable, but make sure those setbacks are the anomaly, not the norm.

The ability to delay gratification allows us to make better decisions, plan strategically, and remain focused on the bigger picture. Whether it’s achieving personal, academic or professional success, it enables us to persist through challenges and withstand setbacks - not losing sight of the end goal.

So practice your patience and lean into the things that take time to build. Trust the process and celebrate the habits.
