When you have set a goal to accomplish, and you’re working to make it happen, it’s possible that along the way things start to look differently than you had imagined.
It’s likely that your vision looked one way and things are coming together in a way that doesn’t directly align.
Maybe that’s because your expectations got in the way, or maybe it’s because you were trying to someone else. Whatever the case, when it starts coming together it’s not as good as you imagined.
Here’s the thing you need to remind yourself.
The journey towards a goal is not about how it looks on the outside. That is something that can, and will, be refined over time. It’s not concrete and it will eventually need to be updated anyway.
So carrying the weight of that is only a burden that will slow you down.
The journey toward a goal is about who you become in the process. What you learn, the fears you overcome, the limits you break through, the people you meet, and the new path you emerge on.
That’s where the gems live and to forget that is a disservice to yourself.
Enjoy the process because you are becoming a better version of you.
