Why You Should Love The Process
Love the process.
You read that right, LOVE THE PROCESS!!!
What’s so hard to understand about that?!?!
…
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh, I get it now!
It’s hard for you to understand that you should love the process because you’re incapable of love, let alone being loved, because you’re just that miserable of a human being. How that’s even possible that you’re more miserable than me is something we’re going to have to cover at another time because space is waaayyyyyy too limited here for us to delve into everything that’s fucked up about you.
Anyway, returning to the subject at hand, the “process” is defined as the actions involved in moving toward a desired outcome. As for the word that you can’t even compel yourself to say, “love” is meant in the context of liking something. Together, to “love the process” simply means to find enjoyment from the steps, procedures, and methods associated with a goal.
Now, why exactly might it be of interest to you to focus less on achieving outcomes and more on deriving pleasure from the means used to produce them?
Well, when the operations to achieve a particular end are pleasant to you, your goal is more likely to feel effortless, which can lead to success. For example, if you’re trying to lose weight, continuing to eat all the foods you prefer but in smaller portions can make dieting easier and help you sustain a caloric deficit long enough to arrive at your target. Conversely, when you’re driven mostly by the outcome, you may take an any means necessary approach that results in the endeavor being a grind, which raises the probability of quitting through an increase in the amount of willpower required to be disciplined. As an illustration, if you try to lose weight by completely eliminating all the foods you prefer in favor of those you don’t, eating what you’re supposed to eat can come across as a chore once the novelty fades and you begin experiencing feelings of deprivation. In that circumstance, adherence to a diet will be challenging and result in frequent lapses that delay progress. That is, if you don’t give up altogether, as is the case with most dieters who employ the described strategy.
That’s one reason to focus on enjoying the work you have to do to reach your goal. Another is that if the results aren’t what you hoped for and expected, then the failure won’t make you apprehensive about trying again because the journey wasn’t insufferable.
So yeah, love the process…
…and get some professional help to overcome your inability to love if you’re serious about being successful at shit!
