Try Again & Trust The Process

I really want to encourage someone today. You may be trying to launch a new career, reach a particular goal, or even salvage a relationship or friendship. I really want to encourage you to trust the process. Try again! It is so easy to throw in the towel and give up. You may feel that your efforts are not producing the desired result, which is understandable.

I remember when I was trying to become a paralegal. I sacrificed a lot of time with my child, which was a very tiring journey. When I graduated, I assumed I would immediately secure that position. Well, after all that hard work and sacrifice, nothing happened. I was discouraged and told myself, “I'm done; I'm not doing this anymore. I'm good!” Thankfully, my mentor encouraged me and reminded me that, if I want to obtain that thing, I have to continue in the process. If you sit back, idle, and throw up your hands, 100% failure is guaranteed. You are essentially aborting the dream.

If you are applying for several different jobs and it's not coming through, try again. Keep interviewing, because one day the answer will change from no to yes. The same applies to relationships. Who wants to be hurt? Who wants to be rejected and put yourself out there over and over again? Who wants to continuously give their heart to someone? No one, right? But the old saying is true: "You have to kiss a few frogs to get to the prince!

Part of the process is knowing that fear, failure, rejection, heartache, and pain may come, but it's something that you simply must bear down and go through to reach the desired results. If you feel discouraged, know that this is only a season, and seasons do change!
