Trust the Process | Motivation for Success and Happiness

[Music] the biggest mistake that most people make in The Game of Life is that they believe in overnight success stories they see whoever on TV and the interviewer says you blew up overnight and probably it's their first time seeing this person so they think it's true it must be an overnight success story because I'm just hearing about them but what you don't realize is that the interviewer's line only has a grain of Truth when you do something great then all of a sudden everyone starts to know about you the spreading of popularity can happen very

quickly but more importantly doing something great that's worthy of popularity that definitely doesn't happen overnight so don't be fooled those people who appear to be overnight successes have been hard at work somewhere out of sight for a very long time preparing themselves developing their own skills see these people are the ones who know the secret they've got that magic trick and the magic is this the process it's the system of developing yourself to the point where given the right circumstances you could be a quote unquote overnight success now this part is very important so stow

it away in your mind your desired outcome is a natural result of the right process let me say it again to let it sink in the desired outcome is a natural result of the right process and I can prove this is true with some very simple examples if you throw a bunch of seeds into the ground behind your house and you just leave them some may grow you might get lucky but you certainly won't have a garden a garden takes time care and attention you have to tend to it regularly to harvest the fruit if

you do then you'll have a great Garden so you see the desired outcome a garden is a natural result of the right process here's another one for you and this one's really good for all you athletes out there if you want to be great at a sport we all know you can't just watch it on TV and expect to be the best I don't care how athletic you are and in the same way you can't just shoot free throws and expect to be a professional basketball player you have to have a bunch of skills you

need to know how to pass how to play with your teammates and you have to be in Peak physical condition and to get each of these you need to show up every day put in the work and develop all of the aspects of your game if you do that every day if that's your process then you're going to have a hard time time not being good at basketball so again the desired outcome is a natural result of the right process now let me give you one more example of a real person think about Oprah there

is a classic story of her getting fired from her first reporting job many people would have stopped right there and tried a different career but Oprah UND stands the magic of process she kept honing her reporting and TV skills she learned to Captivate people she learned to tell a story she put the process in place to develop the skills necessary to be a star she knew that if she had those skills nobody would be able to turn her down and I don't need to tell you whether she was right or not her story her success

her process speaks for itself so there's the proof the desired outcome is a natural result of the right process so let's make this applicable to your life now you might be out there hustling grinding putting the work in but still stuck frustrated you see that fancy car you want but your bank account isn't cooperating maybe you dream of starting your own business but you're Paralyzed by fear that's when you need to analyze your process because remember the desired outcome is a natural result of the right process if you're not getting the outcome you want then

one of two things is going wrong either you didn't give it enough time and energy or your process isn't right and this assessment is hard because you have to be real with yourself you have to look at yourself objectively and notice what your process is missing again top athletes are a great example to highlight this obviously as I said before to be a professional athlete you have to have your process right you have to be be working out practicing all aspects of your game all the time but the best athletes spend hours a day after

practice just to make sure their body is recovering properly so they can avoid injury and have full energy tomorrow they know that their body's health is the absolute most critical asset to their success so they build in time and systems to take take care of it that's knowing every aspect of your process now look I know you can't expect to know all of the ins and outs and have the perfect process from the start finding the right process is a process in and of itself it takes time it takes a few missteps it takes humbling

yourself and recognizing that you don't know it all that you have more to learn because if you did know it all then you would already be a success story the funny thing is the greatest success stories realize that they will never know it all in fact I just heard Dwayne The Rock Johnson say that the other day oh and by the way he's currently the highest paid actor in the world right now so if he thinks that then you probably should too so my friend friend the target you need to aim for is the right

process once you figure that out the goals you've been dreaming about they will come plus focusing on the process means you get to start celebrating the small wins The Daily improvements you learn from every setback and every rejection because every experience good or bad is fuel for your journey and that's where the real Joy joy in life is it's being one step farther than you were yesterday it's looking over your shoulder and seeing your own growth and progress the shiny objects aren't going to make you happy they'll give you an initial burst of dopamine but

then you'll be on to the next thing if you remember nothing else from this remember this line the desired outcome is a natural result of the right process hone in on that process whatever it is for you because if you do not only will you be more successful but you will be a whole lot happier too and that is what you really want well my friend that's all for this episode I really hope you enjoyed it and that it's been useful and motivating for helping you figure out how to move forward in your life if
