Trust the Process

Trust the Process

Whenever something isn’t going your way, trust the process.

If you ever feel like the work you’re putting in isn’t paying off, trust the process.

When people try to put you down, keep working and trust the process.

I thought about quitting basketball two months ago after getting cut from one of my teams, and not having an AAU team to play on really broke me. It was sad to see all the events on social media and me not being there made it even tougher.

The even worse part was during this time I came home from my basketball academy in Ohio, because it was a disaster.


You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.

Albert Camus

Even though I wanted to quit, my parents , who are my biggest fans, told me to just “Trust the process.” I didn’t want to do what they said because my brain kept telling me no, but deep down in my heart I knew I couldn’t give up.

So I just put my head down and kept working on my basketball skills whether it was with trainers, getting shots up with friends, and even working out alone. A month later my mom found a local team for me to play on.

LOVE WHAT YOU DO. DO WHAT YOU LOVE

Not only did I make the team, I also got a starting spot on the team, and I began to feel in the flow and start to play my game again. A week later one of my trainers got an AAU team for me to play on.

I also had earned a starting spot on this team and all the work that I put in finally started to pay off.

When you’re down in life you can’t sit down and act like the world is over. You have to take time for yourself and realize that you’re human and living your life.

Life isn’t going to be easy, so you just have to put your head down and keep working, keep staying blessed, and keep trusting the process.
