How do deal with the issue of process, result and responsibility?

Question

Life is not a state, life is a process, right? You should enjoy more the process than care the result.However, when responsibilities are considered, you can't always choose to experience enjoyable processes. How do you deal with the issue about process, result and responsibility?

Answer 1

it would be easier to grasp the concept of process if we could know what were going through and the stage we were presently in, but most of us go through life taking it as it comes to us; it is what it is.

Answer 2

wow, great question my friend, i struggle each day with the same issue. i believe that everything in life happens for a reason.  we are not always happy or content with what is placed in our laps: as time goes by now, i have realized that we all have choices.  how we deal with them is up to us.  i have made many bad ones, but there are regrets and resentment.  we learn as time passes, unfortunately with much heartache.  i choose to look as each situation as the glass being half full not half empty.  consequences in life are the result as to what makes us either responsible or the choice of neglect of ourselves.  it's easier to excuses and place blame or just not acknowledge our actions.  in the long run, we only hurt ourselves. actually, not being responsible eventually catches up with oneself.  im finally learning that at the age of 45.  whew, i wished i had the opportunity now to have taken the time to choose responsibility when i was younger.  therefore, the result of my life would be completely different.  KARMA, BIG TIME .  GOOD LUCK MY FRIEND, ruthie

Your right on many ideas, i do agree. I must say, as a young adult, your question creates alot of questions and posible answers. There is never one side to a coin.

I understand the process, do not totally understand the result, and want more responsibility. That is how I deal with the issue you ask of.  

I believe who I am, don't totally understand where I be in the next ten mins., but crave social anarchy. I don't understand my young adult times yet, but perhaps when I'm older I'll look back to see and be wise with alot more things I don't understand now. You just got to let it rock and roll, let the pieces gather together at a later age.  The present has a one sided coin.
