one of the most important building blocks in becoming is process. it’s involved in the creation, birth, reiteration and even the decline or destruction of anything that was made. done right, you have something that lasts, when it’s botched, you have an eventual disaster at best. it’s involved in going from bad to good and good to great. the power of process can define outcomes, it can transform potential to legacy and whilst that’s great, it can turn potential to disgrace and rot too. silent yet loud, sometimes ignored but time reveals it’s importance. process is the midwife that helps you birth what you’ve incubated. a constant force, yet dynamic. sometimes fast and at times painfully slow. 

described with manifold expressions like ‘how’, ‘method’, ‘tactic’, ‘strategy’, ‘plan’, ‘procedure’ all of which are testaments to how crucial it is to arrive at a defined destination and consequently it’s always bespoke to the purpose of the conception – the reason for the defined creation. that would explain why the approach to the construction of a condominium is different from that of a townhouse. process is quite silent, usually unseen to the naked eye, just like barren and fruitful trees look the same until it’s bloom season and only then is there a visible separation. it’s prerequisite is a resolute value for patterns and principles, it won’t cater to your emotions, the requirements are defined else you risk an abortion. you don’t skip classes, you graduate, presented with testimonials to prove it and if you do cut corners you’re birthing the very deviation you acceded to. you have to go through that wringer just like a sword has to find pleasure in a furnace and crude oil in the refinery. 

process removes impurity, it defines the product with little room for error and it’s the threshing floor for character. character here is the aggregation of everything that defines an individual, from traits, to mental modules, experiences and values. it redefines your perspective and the lessons learnt never really leave you. just as heat transforms liquid to gas, nothing remains the same after due process. in this refinery a product or a person gets better and tougher – tested and proved. patience, stamina, grit and fortitude are all built and ingrained in this experience and these are building blocks that define and qualify you for the next stage because it never really ends, there’s a gradual promotion to a new level, and for every new level there’s a new process that builds adaptation and competence for what’s next. there’s always a next, with the exception of your becoming strategically complacent. 

i’ve learned to yield and yield again, because by experience i know that’s the best mental module to adopt, and in doing that there’s a silent molting process that goes underway. we’re all inherently impatient but there’s wisdom in patience and process will teach you that. in the wringer, you question the advantage but in hindsight you see how expedient it was. it helps in expanding inherent capacity and it outwardly reveals maturity. in conclusion, i believe that there’s a process before every unveiling and you have the right(not obligation) to question any manifestation without a process.
