Process vs Result Process First: THE key to an easy, fun, exciting life of accomplishment and joy! The idea is so simple, so obvious, once seen. Yet, most people go to their grave never having truly understood and practiced this idea. Above all other ideas, the understanding and consistent application of this idea to all areas of your life will create a life you will love -- more than any other single idea. The idea: put your primary focus on enjoying the process, with your secondary focus is on getting the result(s).

However, when your primary focus is on getting the result and you give little or no attention to enjoying the process, then getting started becomes difficult (procrastination), then following through becomes problematic, then doing a great job seems tedious, then being generous feels like a burden, then taking care of yourself seems self-indulgent, then getting everything done becomes overwhelming, then embracing the risk of life seems too frightening, then not getting the result is depressing, then getting the result seems only a relief, then living your life becomes a toleration, then you begin to wonder about the meaning of life and then your real life never begins. If you choose courage, curiosity, creativity, and context to create enjoyable processes for finding and maintaining romance in your life, not only will you enjoy the activity, but you are also more likely to live everyday with passion and love in your heart.

If you choose courage, curiosity, creativity, and context to create enjoyable processes for getting anything you want, then, even if you don’t get what you wanted (or you get only some of you wanted and intended), life is still great! You enjoyed the process! Always ask the question, “How can I enjoy the process?” Notice the courage you are choosing to put the primary focus on enjoying the process. When we are fully immersed and absorbed in the joy of the process, then the process and the result become one, with our present and future merging into a seamless collaboration. However, when we are tolerating the process, when we are waiting for our reward in the future, we have pitted the present against the future in a battle that both will lose. -DG ?
