It’s all about the process. The process is your life and how you want to live it. It is how you think and act. It is completely within your control. External success and failure are only partially within your control, but you can control how you react. All expectations should be internal and focused within. I will do X with the expectation of doing it to the best of my abilities. Not, I will do X and expect Y.

Individual successes or failures are not important and their value is based on what they can teach. Use success and failure to enhance the process: I failed today. Good. That is part of the process. Now learn from it and get back to the process. I succeeded today. Good. That is part of the process. Now learn from it and get back to the process.

Focusing on external outcomes is fuel for the ego. The ego wants to be defined by external variables outside of your control. If you are defined by your success, you will be crushed by the inevitable defeat. If you are defined by your failure, you will be paralyzed and unable to act. Focus on the process. Let it define you because it is you.

The process is constant movement. Stagnation is for the ego. Your MAP and its implementation is your process. This is in accordance with your nature and all that results from it is good. Focus on the process and do not give a fuck about the rest.
