You Are Going Through A Process II, Contributed by @Olawalium
Continued from the last post. You can read it here.

When determination meets with preparation, going through a process becomes a little bearable.
Note that, I didn’t say it becomes easy, no, I said it becomes bearable. With determination and preparation, when discouragement comes (because it will), you can remember how and why you started in the first place. I always ask people, “What motivates you?” Whatever motivates you will determine how you will endure your process. So, I am asking you, as I often ask myself, “What motivates you?”
If you understand the “What”, you can always explain the “How.” The process involves a lot of “Hows.” How do you get it done? How do you attain it? How do you heal? How do you settle this? How do you love? and so on.
Understand the “What” and you can go through the “How.”
Like I was saying about Steemit in the last post, it has different stages too. You start out new, as a Plankton, then a Minnow, then to an Orca, then Dolphin, and I guess a Whale? What I am trying to say here is, you have to go through each of those stages and you can’t jump. Even if you decide to buy a lot of Steem Power, it is still a process. You still go from a reputation of 25 upwards.
Never skip or ignore processes. Go through them and understand why you need to go through them. If you don’t go through them, how can you share your story? How can you come out refined? How can you pass your lessons to others?
Let us take a familiar story about gold. Many of us know the hard processes gold has to pass through in order to be mined and refined. When gold passes through that process, no one would love to identify with it, but when it comes out, everyone wants a piece, and the desire to hold and own it increases.
The same thing with what we are going through, when we go through the process, it is ALWAYS unpleasant. In fact, always with pain, but then, how can you come out refined if you can’t withstand the fire? How can you sustain the success, if you cannot withstand the pain? How can you have a story to tell, when you can’t stand the process?
The difference between charcoal, diamonds, and gold is all about their process, and it explains a lot about their values too. Charcoal need less fire than a diamond or gold needs. Meaning diamonds and gold requires a lot of processes so as to be refined and come out better, compared to that of charcoal. The more fire it endures, the better it becomes.
So, the more life throws at you, the better it would be for you. Your refined outcome will be so desirable that you will be thankful you went through the process because you will be highly sought after. Never wish your supposedly hard process shouldn’t have come to you because if you do, it means you are saying you lack the capacity. Let every man run their race and each man go through their own processes.
To be continued…
Thank you for your time.
My pen doesn’t bleed, it speaks, with speed and ease.
Still me,
Olawalium; (Love’s chemical content, in human form). Take a dose today: doctor’s order.
I totally agree with you this time, you have nailed it all.
You are absolutely right, to be successful in life isn't a small task as it requires a lot of effort which is the process you talked about on here, like I said in my last comment, life is all about process, there are time we are giving birth to, time for us to crawl and time to talk, they are always process, we have to remember that we can't make things happen in just a day, determination together with commitment and consistency makes the process a little bearable for us.
I want to add this, it is just about life generally.
Life is an process, take a first step and others follow.
Life is an opportunity, benefit from it.
Life is a beauty, admire it. Life is a dream, realize it. Life is challenging, meet it.
Life is a struggle, accept it.
Remember that it take a long tiring process to make it to higher position in life, success doesn't come In a day but rather process and focus. I can't wait for the next chapter. Keep the good work flowing man.
I feel like a lot of people make this mistake. They think life is a specific destination and not a growing and shifting series of events. Those events and constant processes are life. I'm sure you've heard the saying "life happens when you're looking for it". Enjoy the ride and grow through your experiences.
Love this:
We need to enjoy the ride and processes even though we all know it is usually unpleasant. When we try to enjoy it, it changes our disposition to things and makes the process bearable.
Thanks a lot for that, duly appreciated.
Thank you for your thoughtful words. Always appreciated.
Is quite impressive...
This is another high wisdom in full manifestation.
Knowing what would not only help you to know how, you will also know "where", "who", "when" and "why". In short, you will know everything about what you want, and that would prepare your for it.
The problem with humanity is that they don't know the what, so they also lack the clue about the how, when, where, who and why. If you can answer the question "what" correctly, every challenges thrown at you would just be like blocks you need in building your full capacity.
If you want to be valuable like a gold, expect the trier of a gold. You can't pass through the process of a charcoal and end up been a gold.
Don't run from what faces you, face it, that's is the slight difference between the victor and the victim
Thanks @olawalium and @communitycoin, I can't wait for the next part.
I really feel like the "purpose" of existence is to live a life you are fulfilled with that does not hurt other but rather helps them grow. When we die there may not be anything after, but at least while we are here we can do our best to leave a better world for future generations.
This is another wisdom in expression.
Many people only want to survive and not live, but true life and purpose are discovered through living and not a mare surviving. I appreciate your contribution.
You are correct brother, we always want easy passage and forget about the process, nobody want to pass through tiring life stages to achieve a greater success.
And that is the capital of all problems faced by humanity.... Thanks for this great insight
Perfect. Thanks for your contribution as always.
What a clear and precise word. Very timely for these times. It really reminds me of the words of a friend who took a phrase from someone who said: Do not worry when you throw bricks, the more they are, take them and build a wall. So it is very practical, all the processes will help you to build your own life. Do not discard your processes, enjoy them, live them and you will have many benefits. In the end we will see the gold shine.
I love this analogy. Absolutely related to what process is all about. The more bricks thrown, the more we use them to build, the more fire, the more refined, the more life throws at us, the more experience we gather.
Thank you so much for this. Really much appreciated.
The road to success can be long and quitting won’t speed it up. Just because it takes you longer than others, it doesn’t mean that you are not getting there. Your time is coming, just do the work and the results will handle themselves. The results will not come to you when the mind is busy but when the mind is still. Don’t Rush the Process, Trust the Process!
I absolutely love this. Really nice. Don't rush the process, trust the process. Some try to avoid the process and get the end result, and when they know they can't avoid it, they try to rush it and if they do, they can never sustain the success. They have no foundation and base to it. Quitting won't speed it up either like you said, going through it and trying to enjoy it is key.
Thank you so much for this.
Thank you too...as always
Every process skipped in this life will later got effect and won't get choice to come back for it and start again from there but it won't be easy this time. It wasn't easy that's why you skipped it but it's just gonna be like double trouble and may be too late and could make things miserable
God made us to go through process so skipping some process is like telling God what to do
Yes it's never easy but you still have to go through it. Short cut pays now but it has later consequences
You made serious sense with this. Short cut pays for a little time but in the end, the consequences are so grave.
Thank you for this.
Thanks so much for the compliment Sir
Thank you too, brother.
You are right, and you could not start in a better way with that phrase, You will get what you want, when you stop making excuses about why you do not have it. What does not kill you, will make you stronger, this post deserves all the reestem of the world
really a motivational piece of advice and a food for thought, every stages in life has it own experience and lessons we learn from it . And by passing through these stages that we become a more better person due to the lesson and experience we gain from that particular stage
Thank you for that. Processes build our characters, makes us better for it, with resilience and knowledge, and whatever experience we gained from it, we can pass it down to others, who are going through their own process too, to make them at least enjoy the process and have the courage to move on.
Thanks a lot...i appreciate this.
Whatever situation we find our selves is our destination but a process to prepare us for the next stage.
We have to prepare for the process by setting a goal because goals give us more than a reason to get up in the morning and focus on the future. Goals settings are the deepest resources that draw the best out of our life.
Yes!. Each problem we solve is a key to open another door. Processes can never be ignored. Thanks a lot brother, always appreciate you.
Since thousands of years ago BC, gold has become a material that symbolizes greatness and glory as well as prosperity. Golden throne decorations have always been part of the ornament of a kingship device and are even used in one of the ancient fragmentary buildings.
In such a precious gold that often leads to catastrophes and even not infrequently gold became the trigger of a war based on power.
In ancient Egypt and the plains of Iraq, gold has become an ornament. Then the discovery of gold coins in ancient Egypt as exchange rate, exactly 3000 BC.
In 2500 BC also found jewelry made of gold, precisely in Arbydos egypt and the location of the discovery located in the tomb of King Zer.
Awesome!
@olawalium (ola-whale-ium) thank you.
Make a desirable contribution brother, you can do this. We all can make things happen.
I trust that's non derogatory? I believe you know "desirable" is subjective?
Anyways, I'm not surprised, we live in different streets.
Cheers!
