Trust the process.

No one knows exactly what next year will bring. It’s the realm of fear, hopes and dreams. It’s what our ambition aims towards. It’s a shot in the dark. It’s about unmitigated belief more than anything else. It’s about taking massive action, and then reaping massive rewards. It’s all of those things.

But when you’re at the start of it: none of that matters.

You may have hopes, but it’s like thin air.

It’s hard to breathe if you exert yourself too much.

It’s like pushing the body, and then some.

And that’s why it’s hard.

And that’s exactly why we admire people who push through anyway.

When you start anything, the stuff that you should put all stock into is “massive belief”. It has to be so massive that it almost borders on delusion, while you try to accomplish the impossible, and those around you may think that you have lost your mind.

It’s at this time that you take massive action.

It’s at this time that it doesn’t really matter where you start, but the fact that you start is what it’s about.

It’s about the belief that “these are the motions”.

It’s about the belief that you are “in a process”

And it’s at this time that your “massive belief” intersects with “the process”.

It’s this feeling, when you pull another all nighter, when dawn is upon you, when a million souls go about their business, having their version of “having it together” and “having it all figured out”. It’s at that time that your “massive belief” doesn’t falter, but it’s at this time that you can only do one thing, and one thing alone: you can only trust the process.

Because there has to be a method to your madness.

There is no other way—----

Because—--

You go through the motions.

You made a plan.

You have a destination in mind.

You have some idea of what has to be done.

And part of you just “wills the thing into existence”.

All while another part of you studies the plan, studies the data, learns from the mistakes of others, gets inspired by others who went down a similar path as yours, and who made it big.

And it’s at this hour that you just have to do it: you just have to “trust the process”.

Because without “trust in the process” none of it will happen.

Without the reps you ain’t moving forward, you ain’t making progress, and you surely will not get to where you want to be.

And then before you know it, you're a few months in, then a year, then a few years, and the object of your obsession is slowly turning into a reality. You may not have achieved it all the way, but it’s getting there, there is data in support of this, you have achieved small wins, and all of that contributes to your massive believe that is acquiring critical mass, your name is getting out there, as well as a massive moat, and then a few years later you’re right where you were supposed to be. Now ain’t that something.
