Value the Process and Not the Event

The picture analogy. Just thought this was a cool thought. There are two directions to run you fingers along a pine cone, up and down. As you travel upward in life toward success its smooth for quite awhile, unless you slip. When you slip, you get pricked. It happens to all of us. Whether or not we continue to climb up to us. Learn from your mistakes and watch your step. =)

The more and more I have experiences, the more I realize life is about understanding the small and big pictures. Life is really as much as you make it, no matter the circumstance. 

Learn to value the processes of life and not the event that occurs. Sure, circumstances sometimes suck and influence permanently, but it passes over time. The results are not always favorable, but when they are, it makes the process even more memorable and enriching.

You can learn a lot more out of a losing experience than a winning one. Plus, what do you remember most about something that happened? The actual details of the event or how it made you feel? The latter is most common because it’s how the experience made you discover more about life and yourself 

Yet again, another small yet important aspect of our attitude in life. Valuing the process of trying and failing, over and over again, until we taste sweet victory. Have that awareness and attitude about yourself and what you do, and you can turn any experience into a unique one. 

Think about some of your commitments and whether or not your preparing for an event, or thriving in the process of learning and preparation so the event is the true indication that you’re both working hard and having fun. 

Cheers,
