Trust the process, baby.
Narcotics Anonymous Meeting – Trusting the Process
I was in a Narcotics Anonymous meeting the other day, and the topic was trust. The focus was on two things: trusting yourself and trusting the process. This idea stuck with me because it’s not just about recovery from drugs—it applies to anything in life. Whether it’s fitness, business, or personal goals, it’s all about trusting the process. People have done it before. They’ve succeeded, overcome challenges, and changed their lives. And it all starts with trust.
You vs. You
The battle you’re fighting? It’s you vs. you. And the real fight? It’s happening between your ears. If you want to change anything—whether it’s getting in shape or starting a business—you have to trust the system you put in place. Like James Clear says, “You do not rise to the level of your goals, you fall to the level of your systems.” The big goals are great, but they don’t matter if you’re not committed to the daily grind. Building that trust in yourself starts with small, consistent actions.
Find Your Process and Stick to It
So, what’s the takeaway? Find your process. Whether it’s showing up to the gym three times a week, setting small business goals, or even just sticking to a routine, trust that process. Ryan Holiday said it perfectly: “The obstacle is the way.” The hard stuff, the challenges, they’re all part of it. Trust yourself to handle whatever comes your way and stay committed.
At the end of the day, that’s how you win the battle. And don’t forget—you’re a warrior. Every single day, you have the choice to go into battle and fight for what’s right, or to sit back and do nothing. Choose to fight. Choose to trust yourself and your process, because that’s how you overcome.
