Food for thought...loving and respecting the process because the beauty is in the process...
As is true for many things, the most beautiful things in this world are those things which are not visible to the eye. In working towards achieving goals, we often focus on the outcomes and the end result forgetting that the real beauty is in the process...the part not seen by others...the part that is not glamorous and glorious...the sweat, the struggles, the time, the sacrifices that it takes to achieve your goals. Love yourself through the process and remember that change takes time. Stay patient with the process of change and delight in the beauty of it. The outcome is important and of course the end result of achieving our goal is our ultimate endeavor, yet to me, the real beauty and the part often forgotten is that which is unseen by others...all of the behind the scenes effort and work...the grind. We celebrate the end result when we achieve our goals, and when we look at others, whether it be their success, their career, their physique or any outward reflection of achievement, we only see the end result as opposed to what it took for them to get there. Of course, the end result is rewarding and wonderful, but to me, the thing to be admired is not only achieving the goal, but even more so, the hard work, dedication, perseverance, sacrifices...the process that it took for them to achieve it. The transformation that occurs within us as we grow with our goals and dreams in order to achieve them is the ultimate beauty...the process...the metamorphosis. Love the process...embrace the change...love who you become as you work to achieve your dreams. Keep setting the bar higher knowing that if we set our goals higher each time, we will be forced to grow into them becoming stronger with each metamorphosis. Strive for the end result, but don't forget to love the process along the way knowing that the real beauty is in the metamorphosis of who you are becoming as you work to achieve your goals.
