A process consists of a series of steps taken one at a time

• Sometimes we make the process more complicated than we need to. We will never make a journey of a thousand miles by fretting about how long it will take or how hard it will be.

• The step that we are on is only a step to the next place, and no step regardless of how massive is ever a destination. Craig D. Lounsbrough
• Harness the power of small, consistent action steps

Success is a process…

• The joy of success lies in the process or journey — not so much on the destination, because one destination opens the door for another.

• Remember, success is a journey not a destination. Have faith in your ability. You will do just fine. Bruce Lee

• Falling short of perfection is a process that just never stops. William Shawn

• Dreams

.

Progress is a process

• Habits often appear to make no difference until you cross a critical threshold and unlock a new level of performance. In the early and middle stages of any quest, there is often a Valley of Disappointment. You expect to make progress in a linear fashion and it’s frustrating how ineffective changes can seem during the first days, weeks, and even months.  It doesn’t feel like you are going anywhere.  It’s a hallmark of any compounding process: the most powerful outcomes are delayed.  James Clear
• It is your commitment to the process that will determine your progress. James Clear
• Progress

No goal can be attained without a process preceding it

.

The process of reaching a goal can be more rewarding than its attainment …

• Set goals not for the outcome itself, but for who you get to become in the process. Jim Rohn
• The journey is the destination. The process you’re in is the goal. Success is never defined by the outcome but by the process. Paul Young

In many ways, therefore, process is more important than outcome

• I have always believed that process is more important than results. MS Dhoni

• Goals are about the results you want to achieve. Systems are about the processes that lead to those results.
• Success is not a goal to reach or a finish line to cross. It is a system to improve, an endless process to refine. James Clear
• The purpose of setting goals is to win the game. The purpose of building systems is to continue playing the game. True long-term thinking is goal-less thinking.  It’s not about any single accomplishment.  It is about the cycle of endless refinement and continuous improvement.  Ultimately, it is your commitment to the process that will determine your progress.  James Clear

Process should always fit into a greater purpose that is clearly defined

• Process tells us how. Purpose tells us why. But in reality, it is academic to draw a line between them, they are part of a continuum. Process and purpose are so welded to each other that it is impossible to mark where one leaves off and the other begins, or which is which. The very process of democratic participation is for the purpose of organization rather than to rid the alleys of dirt. Process is really purpose. Saul D. Alinsky
• Having and understanding of the ‘why’ will help having an understanding of the ‘how’. Bobby Darnell
• Focus on the objective, execute the process to get there. Edwin Dearborn

• The journey is the reward. Steve Jobs
• We enjoy the process far more than the proceeds. Warren Buffett
• Building up expectations, creating unrealistic time frames, feeling like our end goal is the end all, be all can all lead to frustration or anxiety. We end up feeling as though we have to power through what we want rather than enjoy the process and just let the result come as it may. Gretchen Bleiler

• Evolution,  Innovation

.

.

Patience is a recognition that all processes take time…

It means being wholeheartedly engaged in the process that’s unfolding, rather than ripping open a budding flower or demanding a caterpillar hurry up and get that chrysalis stage over with. Sharon Salzberg
• It’s a very slow process – two steps forward, one step back – but I’m inching in the right direction. Rob Reiner
• Everything takes time. You have to love the journey and the process. Benson Henderson

As a historically developing being, he is set over against nature, both as a knower and as a doer. Owen Barfield

• Craft is part of the creative process. Gavin Bryars
• The preliminaries were out of the way, the creative process was about to begin. The creative process, that mystic life force, that splurge out of which has come the Venus de Milo, the Mona Lisa, the Fantasie Impromptu, the Bayeux tapestries, Romeo and Juliet, the windows of Chartres Cathedral, Paradise Lost – and a pulp murder story by Dan Moody. The process is the same in all; if the results are a little uneven, that doesn’t invalidate the basic similarity of origin. Cornell Woolrich
• The creative process is not controlled by a switch you can simply turn on or off; it’s with you all the time. Alvin Ailey
• The creative process is not like a situation where you get struck by a single lightning bolt. You have ongoing discoveries, and there’s ongoing creative revelations. Yes, it’s really helpful to be marching toward a specific destination, but, along the way, you must allow yourself room for your ideas to blossom, take root, and grow. Carlton Cuse
• There are really three parts to the creative process. First there is inspiration, then there is the execution, and finally there is the release. Eddie Van Halen
• Ah, the creative process is the same secret in science as it is in art. They are all the same absolutely. Josef Albers
• Most creative work is a process of people passing ideas and inspirations from the past into the future and adding their own creativity along the way. Joichi Ito
• Creativity has to start somewhere, and we are true believers in the power of bracing, candid feedback, and the iterative process – reworking, reworking, and reworking again until a flawed story finds its through line or a hollow character finds its soul. Edwin Catmull
• Creativity is the process of having original ideas that have value. Ken Robinson
• Creativity is the process of bringing something new into being. Rollo May
• Creativity itself doesn’t care at all about results – the only thing it craves is the process. Learn to love the process and let whatever happens next happen, without fussing too much about it. Work like a monk, or a mule, or some other representative metaphor for diligence. Love the work. Destiny will do what it wants with you, regardless. Elizabeth Gilbert
• Creativity is the generation and initial development of new, useful ideas. Innovation is the successful implementation of those ideas in an organization. Thus, no innovation is possible without the creative processes that mark the front end of the process: identifying important problems and opportunities, gathering relevant information, generating new ideas, and exploring the validity of those ideas. Teresa Amabile
• Creativity

• A small change at the beginning of the design process defines an entirely different product at the end. Jonathan Ive

Happiness is a process

• Long lasting satisfaction comes from enjoying the process. Outcome or attainment always only brings temporary satisfaction. Anthony Lambert
• The good life is a process, not a state of being. It is a direction, not a destination. Carl Rogers
• Happiness, as we will show you, is much more of a process than an emotional destination. People frequently overlook the process side of happiness in their pursuit of the good life. Ed Diener & Robert Biswas- Diener
• Goals create an “either-or” conflict: either you achieve your goal and are successful or you fail and you are a disappointment. You mentally box yourself into a narrow version of happiness. This is misguided. It is unlikely that your actual path through life will match the exact journey you had in mind when you set out. It makes no sense to restrict your satisfaction to one scenario when there are many paths to success. A systems-first mentality provides the antidote. When you fall in love with the process rather than the product, you don’t have to wait to give yourself permission to be happy. You can be satisfied anytime your system is running. And a system can be successful in many different forms, not just the one you first envision. James Clear
• Happiness
