Trust The Process, No Matter How Difficult It Is
Do you trust the process of life? If you want to reach your desired destination, you need to surrender to the process, no matter how difficult it is.
When we allow life to reveal itself to us, we live in the present moment, knowing that we are exactly where we are supposed to be. Unfortunately, a lot of people jump too far forward. In their desire to reach their final destination, they forget about the journey, but this is where the magic lies.
Unfortunately, life and comfort don’t co-exist. In today’s world, nothing is permanent, and at any moment life could throw you a curveball that could change the game. When you trust the process, you accept and have faith in the unknown. You step outside of your comfort zone and allow life to guide you along your journey.
Let go of fear and stop trying to control life. As Emmanuel Teney says, “As your faith is strengthened you will find that there is no longer the need to have a sense of control, that things will flow as they will, and that you will flow with them, to your great delight and benefit.” Are you ready to believe in yourself and trust the process?

What is stopping you from trusting the process?
Fear can play a large role. A lot of people don’t like to trust the process because they fear that it’s not going to lead them down the path that they want. If they don’t see results fast enough, they get discouraged and give up altogether. People look too far forward and obsess about the end result, but what about the small milestones that you need to take in order to reach your final destination?
Let’s explore 4 ways that you can trust the process of life.
1. Be Resilient
When faced with adversity, it can be difficult to trust the process. Thoughts of, “Why me” may surface, causing you to doubt your ability to move forward. This is the moment at which you need to thought stop. Why not you?? Life happens to all of us, and it’s our responsibility to either rise above our circumstances, or give up.
If you believe that everything is in your control, drop that story now. Change is the only constant. Resilient people surrender to uncertainty. They understand that we have very little control over what happens in life, and by adopting this mindset, they have trust in the process.
2. Embrace The Unknown
Humans dislike ambiguity of any kind. Anything that doesn’t feel safe, stable, and comfortable feels dangerous. The fact of the matter is that we don’t know what life will throw us, but if we embrace the unknown and get comfortable being uncomfortable, we will be better prepared for anything.
In his book, Nonsense: The Power of Not Knowing, Jamie Holmes explore the notion that people have an impulse to want to understand, reach conclusions, and take control. However, if we want to grow, both personally and professionally, we need to act confidently in the face of the unknown.
There are no guarantees in life. Don’t predict the future. Rather, focus on what you can control, which is the present moment. When you do so, you will be creating your life, moment by moment, with zero attachments to what could be.
3. Focus On Your Purpose
When in doubt, focus on your purpose. Trusting the process is about accepting that hardships will happen along your journey to success, but having confidence that every lesson is bringing you one step closer to fulfilling your purpose in life. Whether you want to believe it or not, failure is a good thing. It is proof that you are trying.
When you commit to being persistent and carrying on, despite the odds, the Universe will reward you. I encourage you to adopt a positive mindset and find ways to appreciate every experience, both good and bad, that is bringing you one step closer to embodying your purpose. In the words of Andrea Dykstra, “In order to love who you are, you cannot hate the experiences that shaped you.”
4. Practice Gratitude
Our perspective on life dictates the thoughts that we feel and the decisions that we make. The other day I found myself dwelling upon regrets, which left me feeling depleted and anxious. As a result, I wasn’t able to focus on the good that I was creating in the present moment.
It only took me a minute to snap out of my ruminative thoughts when I found out that my dear friend had just lost her Dad to cancer. At that moment, I found perspective and felt a deep sense of gratitude for my life. It allowed me to stop dwelling on what I couldn’t change and to remember how blessed I am.
Feeling grateful has been associated with less frequent negative emotions and thoughts, more frequent positive emotions and thoughts, greater meaning in life, more positive coping, a greater appreciation of life. Life is so short. If you are fortunate enough to have freedom and safety, be grateful and conscious of when you slip off track and let your inner critic get the best of you.
Once you trust the process, your path in life becomes clear.
Life is tough, but so are you, darling. When you learn to trust the process and have gratitude for how far you’ve come, you get massively rewarded. Why are you trying to go anywhere else, other than where you currently are? Learn to fall in love with the here and now, knowing that life is going to give you exactly what you need if you are brave enough to ask for it. In the words of Robert Tew, “Trust the process. You will discover a lot about yourself through hardship.”
