You have to make great effort
\u201cDon\u2019t just put in your time. That is not enough. You have to make great effort.\u201d
When the shine wears off the habits we\u2019re trying to form, when we begin to merely show up rather than put in the hard work of consistent, effortful focus, we lose hold of the very skill we\u2019re trying to develop. Trusting the process implies patience and that you\u2019re aware you\u2019re taking a long-view approach. But it also implies that you take very seriously the small micro-task in front of you. Do each step of the journey with your whole attention. While sometimes it is enough to just to \u201cshow up,\u201d it\u2019s a good reminder that on the path of personal transformation, you have to work at it.
