Trust the process

When doing difficult things it is often hard to gauge progress. It becomes easy to make excuses to yourself to not continue because you don’t see progress.

But anyone who has successfully done something difficult understands that you have to trust the process. To keep doing what you are doing even though you are not getting that dopamine hit instantly.

It is something that has to be learnt, to not seek validation every step of the way.

We celebrate overnight successes and underdog stories but fail to remind ourselves that those same people worked their asses off for years and even decades before getting even an ounce of success.

Here’s one of my favourite Nike ads of all time — “I’m gonna be an overnight success. Even if it takes me 10 years.”
