Trusting The Process.

      While going through many articles and posts trying to gather data for my research inquiry, I found the following post in "Psychology's Today" Journal:

"Everyone’s rushing to get to the top, all the while failing to realize that the “top” is just a mindset; it can be limitless if you let it be. Instead, people are in a great big hurry to get nowhere in particular. It’s like they’re running on a treadmill, trying to get to where they want to go and convincing themselves that they’ll only have worth when they reach that next “level." Everyone wants to save time getting to the top, but all they end up doing is wasting it."

This got me thinking!
Do we ever stop trying to reach somewhere, or do we sometimes stop and enjoy the small things and moments along the way?
Hidden information-knowledge lives in those little moments that we pass by in a rush so we reach and achieve something.
I do believe that we need to make time and trust the process along the way, because after all its the journey that matters, its that that fills us with many educational points (hidden or not) and provides us with many moments that we can gain so many more.

Allowing yourself to grow through the process is something that if is achievable you can find greater motivation, and even a new purpose/goal that hadn't even occurred to you before.
That is why if we are talking about research methods , we should allow the research to lead us to paths we didn't think about before, so this can give us new results to questions we didn't know we had.

My advice: Don't put a limit on research findings!:)

For me and what I think the most fascinating and important part is seeing that happiness mustn't always be around trying to always achieve a goal, its knowing that the process is what is more important, any process shouldn't be rushed, taking time to achieve what you want and gaining as many as you can from the journey is what really matters.

Just sharing my thoughts!

Back on Track!

     After a great summer full of amazing moments and filled with beautiful memories,  its time to return to my daily life of working at my dance school and studying towards the final Module of the MA program, and I must say I'm really exited to see what this year  ahead will bring.
This year I will try and gain as many experiences as I can because as I always say a lot of good comes out of trying new things.
Dr. Seuss said: "If you never did, you should. These things are fun and fun is good. If you never try new things you will never learn what you love."
By trying new things you allow yourself to grow, you can see the world with a different eye and be open to new challenges and this fuels up your curiosity even bigger...
Even though as humans its normal to be afraid of the unknown and it is common for us not wanting to get out of our comfort zones, judging by myself usually because of the fear of failing (!), all of us (including me) should realize that fear holds us back from living a memorable life! We should all embrace as many new experiences as we can and gain as many outcomes as possible!!
Looking forward to working with all of you sharing opinions and views this semester.
