There is a process before progress

Process: procedure: a particular course of action intended to achieve a result;

Progress: advancement: gradual improvement or growth or development

Everything in life has to go through a process; all things have to follow some course of action.  Things such as, what goes up must come down; where there is darkness, light will eventually be present and what gets hot will eventually cool down. These are things in life that go through simple processes.

Just as things have to go through a process, so do us as people. There is a process for everyone and everything in life. Before a baby is born, it has to first be conceived then it has to go through a growth process in its mother womb. In due course a baby is born, that eventually become a teen, which goes on to be a full grown adult. So these are illustrations of the process before progress.

So just as you have these natural life processes that we go through. To achieve any level of success in your life, you will need to go through a process in these situations as well. So what is the process before the progress to success?

There will need to be preparation, planning and action before you begin making any advancement toward success. There has to be some type of procedure before any improvements or development of success will take any form or shape in your life. So you cannot expect to have any type of achievement or success in your life if there has not been any action to attain those types of results. Without a plan, a man will fail for sure. How can a builder build a house if he does not have a blueprint to go by?  How can a car be built if there is not schematic or diagram to follow?  So how can you even consider being a success if you have not mapped a road to this success? You cannot!

So begin developing yourself a procedure, a particular course of action for your improvement and advancement toward success. There has to be a process before you can even begin to see and progress in your life. Success does not come to those who wait around for it to come their way; this is a misconception on your part if you are waiting on any type of success to come to you. You must get up and move toward success, taking the necessary actions in your life that are required for attaining the success you want and desire. Progress is an action word, so you must take action to be successful. To achieve the result of success in your life you will need to follow the proper procedures of success.

So now that you know and understand that there has to be a process before progress; begin to take the necessary action to achieve the resulting success in your life.
