Looking back on my life's journey, I've always held the belief that the process is paramount. Sure, results matter, but they're merely the endpoint of the path we've walked. I've always believed that true value and meaning lie within the journey itself.
My experiences as a scholar only reinforced this conviction. Take writing a thesis, for instance. Without an honest and diligent research process, you can't hope to achieve reliable results. Rigorous methodology, constant questioning, and meticulous data analysis - all these were part of the process. Neglect these, and no matter how plausible your results might seem, you'd struggle to gain recognition in academia.
Yet, I came to realize that not all areas of life operate in the same way. The realm of faith, in particular, was a different story. The journey of belief often unfolded in ways beyond our comprehension. Sometimes, our efforts and devotion didn't lead to immediate results. Nevertheless, I believed that God watched over our every step, and ultimately, He would provide outcomes befitting our process.
As I've lived, I've come to understand this truth more deeply. I realized that our lives are one long journey, and every moment of that journey shapes us. I also learned that obsessing over results can make us miss the preciousness of the present. So, I've always strived for a balanced approach to life - being faithful to the present while moving towards the future.
This realization transcended mere philosophical views and became a way of life. I tried to cherish every moment, running towards my goals but never missing out on the learning and growth along the way. I've lived believing that an honest and diligent process always yields meaningful results.
This attitude towards life is also the message I've wanted to convey to everyone I meet, especially the younger generation. It's not about chasing results alone, but recognizing the value of experiences and wisdom gained in the process. That's the life wisdom I've gleaned over the years.
In retrospect, this belief has influenced every aspect of my life. Whether in achieving academic success, in my faith journey, or in making small daily decisions, I've tried to apply this principle. There were times when results didn't show immediately, making things tough, but I pressed on, trusting the process.
Now, in the latter part of my life, I realize more clearly that our entire life is one grand process. The fruits we bear are just milestones in this long journey. The true value lies in the journey itself, where we grow, learn, and become better versions of ourselves with each passing moment. This is the life philosophy I've discovered throughout my life, and one I aim to continue practicing.
