"The process" You can be the lawn mower or the grass, your choice. That's a crazy way to think for most people, but it's true. I believe if life is easy it's not real living. I believe if parenting is easy it's not real parenting. Anything of value and worth comes with test and challenges that often discourage and make weary. Life is simple not easy, the directions on living hasn't changed,most just don't follow them. I believe God intended us to take Him at His Word completely. I believe we have a God that is perfectly responsible and accountable for every word he spoke. I believe that reading and studying Gods Word develops a relationship that views all situations as being opportunities and challenges. This relationship views beyond the tag giving to situations such as bad or good, to big or to small, and sees the process that develops ones greatest potential. This view looks past the discouragement of situations and expresses an attitude of love towards the process and finds strength within the test and challenge of each opportunity. Could we then believe and apply that all things happen for the good to those who love God and are called according to His purpose? By trusting the process that every situation makes you stronger and develops you spiritually, is there really a bad situation? Your true beliefs control your true behavior, your true behavior produces the environment of your surroundings. Believe in the process not the problems.

"Consider it a sheer gift, friends, when tests and challenges come at you from all sides. You know that under pressure, your faith-life is forced into the open and shows its true colors. So don’t try to get out of anything prematurely. Let it do its work so you become mature and well-developed, not deficient in any way. (‭James‬ ‭1‬:‭2-4‬ MSG)"

Hang in there and trust the process.

"Don't be upset" If you plant a certain thought in your mind, don't be upset when that thought produces it's product. Many people will get so upset when things happen, yet that's what they had in their mind but didn't realize it could really happen. There's no way you can hide your true thoughts and motives, they will eventually produce there products. If you work hard but really not your hardest, then don't be upset when the results equal what you planted, how hard you really worked. Don't be upset over the way people treat you, they're treating you the way you've treated them. Don't be upset when people don't help, have you helped people. Don't be upset over the way life is treating you, life treats you the way you treat life. If you don't feel loved check and see if you are planting love. If you sense people are always avoiding you, check and see what you're planting. If you feel down and out, go help someone that's down and out. If you feel angry, go help someone that's angry. If you want real friends, go be a real friend. If you want real love, go give real love. If you want an awesome life, go give away an awesome life. Nothing grows and produces it's product until it's planted. Don't be upset when you harvest and it's not what you expected, it's exactly what you planted! Guard your heart and mind, all of life and what life produces come from them. 

"Do not be fooled: You cannot cheat God. People harvest only what they plant. We must not become tired of doing good. We will receive our harvest of eternal life at the right time if we do not give up. When we have the opportunity to help anyone, we should do it. But we should give special attention to those who are in the family of believers. (Galatians 6:7, 9-10)

"Team first" Really tough in our society to fully enjoying the power that team first brings. There is such an outbreak of individualism over team, the effort to be cool instead of real hustle or just getting after it, so many attitudes that present I've been there and done that instead of truly being thankful for each opportunity and enjoying each experience no matter how small or big. Be mindful this day of what's really going on, realizing how much those you love really mean to you. Never get over the excitement of making a big deal of the little things an the joy of helping others be their best. Don't get so hurried that you miss the person for what the person is doing. Look into their eyes, see what's going on and get involved in the lives around. Don't just show up and enjoy what they do , get on the team and make the team first , to be your best you must put others first and help them be better. "If anyone thinks he is important when he really is not, he is only fooling himself. Each person should judge his own actions and not compare himself with others. Then he can be proud for what he himself has done. (‭Galatians‬ ‭6‬:‭3-4‬ NCV) How's your actions towards others , how's the team first principle in your life?
