Why Success is celebrated more than the process

When a portion of food is undergoing the process of cooking, people don't give it a solid trust or compliment till the food is ready and has been tasted. That is when you hear;

"The food is scrumptious"

"The meal is delicious"

"Wow! What a luscious taste"

One can easily get it wrong when you judge a food by its aroma. Some food's aroma is nice but the taste is not appealing.

When an artist is making a portrait, its beauty is defined when the portrait gets the finishing touch.

"Your drawing has a way of capturing so many emotions."

"You drew so well. It is so creative and beautiful"

You can't capture the real beauty of a drawing while it's half-baked to its finishing.

Let's take a look at the metamorphosis of a butterfly.

Egg to Caterpillar to Chrysalis, then finally it turned into a butterfly.

While it was at the phase of the process, it didn't look like the end product. It didn't look attractive till it metamorphosized into a butterfly, which is now admired by the world.

I don't think the butterfly will have so much admiration if it remained in its egg or caterpillar or chrysalis stage.

If you witness a Fashion Designer making a dress from the scratch, you may be forced to think he or she is only just making pieces of your fabric, if you don't have knowledge of clothes making. But when those pieces are fit, you can only exclaim an affirmative and positive response to the end product.

"What a beautiful dress"

"What a great design"

Garri will never have seen the limelight if the manufacturer gave up in the process.

When a building is in the building process. Its beauty is not yet defined, so it doesn't get the compliment till it's built and furnished. Then you hear resounding compliments of the building.

The lists are endless to point to.

I want us to connect the dots and embrace this secret and know peace. I am still in my becoming stage and some days are rough but this is one secret that has been among my stronghold.

This part of success is one of those tough phases of the journey because in this phase it takes only those who can endure and be consistent and persistent in this process phase to get the trophy of success.

Do you now see why this phase doesn't get much appreciation, awards and compliments that it truly deserves?

I have had sleepless thoughts about this but since getting to be exposed to this bitter truth and secret, I have learnt over time to keep my eyes on the prize thereof while I pay the price therein and not focus on whether I am getting the cheers or not, so I don't get drained by the challenges that come with the process.

The patent truth is that some people have lost focus on the prize and stopped paying price required to attain their dreams and goals because they got distracted by the hocus-pocus that comes with the process.

Some were just a few steps to success but couldn't attain it, because they focus on the blur forming of their dreams and the cheers that are not forthcoming and hence got discouraged along the journey to forging on.

Some were about to be the next breaking record, the next greatness, the next answered prayer but they gave up in the process of becoming.

The whole efforts put together all went to void and extinction.

This reminds me of one soul-nourishing quote from Thomas Edison "Many life failures are people who didn't realise how closed they were to success when they gave up"

This is one quote that I always glued to my soul to help me stay in check and keep me going.

The truth is that the world is watching you but to get their appraisal, award and recognition, you must endure the hurdles of the process and birth forth that dream.

If you've given up on your dream due to the hurdles of the process, I hope this finds you and stirs up your spirit to give your dream a chance to reality.

If you have been hanging and holding on but are becoming weary, I hope this strengthens and nourish your bones to keep pressing on till you actualize your dreams.

The world will only recognize you not in the process of your dreams but the actualization of your dreams.

The process only becomes a motivation when you birth forth the dream.

You are a pregnant soul with great dreams, persist and strive to deliver to your world that dream that you have been nurturing and the world will have no option but to give a history ovation unto your name.

No matter how long it takes you, don't give up, there's no record of late arrival, it can only be the latest breaking news.

Give your world-breaking news that will be marked in the heart of lives and can't be forgotten in a hurry.

Don't give up before the miracle, success, or greatness happens.

Dear Dreamer

This is a call to keep thriving and striving to break the record. You have not come this far to give up in the process of making your dream see the limelight of reality.

Your world awaits the manifestation of your dream.
