Goals are still essential, and I think they always will be, but it's the type of goals you set. Outcome goals are subject to the whims of the universe. You just can't say how your dreams will turn out with a hundred per cent certainty. It's an unpredictable system.

Process goals are better; they are under your control.
I write every day. I either do it, or I don't. I choose to do it every day, and it has become a habit.
Simple.

The goal-setters out there gain their life satisfaction from achieving their goals. But what they don't realize is that one of the most important aspects of any endeavour is the journey.

I want to achieve all my goals, and I'm willing to bust my ass to get them. If I've given my all and continue to do so as long as I draw breath, no one could ask for more than that.

Focusing on your process rather than results can help you navigate challenging times and grow as an individual. It can also help you find more fulfilment and enjoyment in your tasks.

You might not achieve your goal today, tomorrow, or next week, but if you focus on your process and give it all you've got every day, you'll produce results you would never have imagined.

I have a problem not just with setting particular objectives to be achieved in a specific time frame but the consequences of not being able to achieve these objectives over and over again. It's easy to get frustrated with your progress. Expectations can make you miserable.

"The process is about doing the right things, right now. Not worrying about what might happen later, the results, or the whole picture," says Ryan Holiday.

Set the goal but focus on the process and let's not overcomplicate the task.
Finish what you start. Embrace the task at hand, take it one step at a time and don't get distracted by anything else. Do your best and stop only when you bring the task to an end.

Then repeat.
This is the essence of the process in a nutshell.
