The whole "love the process" mantra is flawed.
You won't always love the process. You can't.
It's not meant to be loved every day. I tried.
Some days, it's frustrating, invisible, and tough to measure. That's the hardest part.
Not every part of building something meaningful will feel like a dream. Quite the opposite.
There's grit, repetition, and days where enthusiasm feels like a memory. It's like training for a marathon, mile after mile, with no guarantee the next one will feel easier.
And that's ok.
One thing's for sure - The process is meant to teach.
We show up, we push forward, and that's where growth lives. The parts we don't love? They're usually the ones that teach us the most.
So commit to the process. Trust it. In time, you’ll find a deeper respect for it, and maybe even come to love it.
