Enjoy the process

How often do you feel that, “I want to achieve this and that in life?” Many of us may answer, yes very often. It is the human nature to dream about future, rather a successful future. While dreaming about something beautiful, we often forget that we are focusing on the end result a lot that we are unable to focus on the process of achieving the goal. 

    Let’s take an example of journey. When you start your journey, you definitely know where you want to go but at the same time you enjoy each and every moment of your journey. You enjoy each scenery you see from your window sit. Off course! Getting window seat is also an exciting experience. Rather I would say, getting window seat is like getting noble prize for many! And it’s not an exaggeration at all. So, in a way you enjoy your journey even if you constantly think about the destination.

    In the same way, when you think about your career and life, you will realize that you should think about your destination but you should enjoy every stage of your journey towards your destination too, because each stage of your journey is unique and is not going to come back. There are a few questions which irritate our mind a lot while starting something new or progressing in our career, those questions are as follows:

•         Would I be able to achieve the desired goal in my whole life?
•          Would it be right for me to choose this path to achieve success?
•         Would I be able to be determined towards my dream always?

    And list could go on! But while thinking about these questions, we forget one thing that we just have to leave all of these questions behind and just focus on what could be done today to go closer to our goal. We forget to enjoy the first failure, first success and first try of ours. This makes us feel pressurized about achieving the goal. It could lead us to depression. One must enjoy each and every step which is taking them towards their dream, because those steps may not mean anything to the world right now but the foundation they are about to build is going to matter a lot in the long run!
