In the first article of the Motivation series, we touched on fear and the acceptance of it and the process of removing the barriers that restrict man. After growing and conquering our fear, it no longer is feared but becomes our adrenaline. The next challenge to face is seeing the light and realizing what is most important.
The light at the end of the tunnel is wonderful and is a result of the horrors one went through to reach success. The focus in this article is not just about seeing the light, but really about the most important thing and that is the process.
The tendency to measure success on reaching the light at the end of the tunnel is one that is built by many but few really know the truth. Success can also be measured on the journey and the ways one grew as they chased after that light at the end. Please do not misunderstand what I am saying because reaching the light and the goal you may have been pursuing really is remarkable and one should show pride anytime he or she does so but, the real indicator of what you are becoming is shown in the process and how you have evolved.
We often never reach the light at the end as sometimes it is all part of the process. You see, when we measure success on the journey, failure now becomes a minor set back and can be seen as a lesson. We then learn that failure makes us stronger and we often do not take notice of it.
In trying to reach our goals, we learn all the necessary life lessons and face obstacles that would often push the average person away. The right mindset is what helps us to win this fight and it is what helps us to enjoy the journey for what it really is and only then will you really ever see the light at the end.
