If you understand the purpose of something, you can more easily endure the process. Intellectually speaking, we may recognize that in the end, the result will be beneficial for us. Often, however, we will “kick” at the process. We may be ecstatic in the moment, but not consider that the process is really the journey. The journey may have peaks and valleys and we will have to be mature enough to be committed to it and celebrate the victories along the way.
