The concept of trust in the process has taken on a life of its own because it is deep, simple, and true. For my part, I define trusting the process as letting go and simply believing that everything will be fine while doing the best you can right now.
The phrase gained popularity in sports in 2013 and has since spread to other fields such as finance, stocks, yoga, and rap music, including inspirational and personal development.
This is because when a concept rings true in one area, it also rings true in another.
So, if you’re going through a rough patch and need some inspiration, here are 125 of the most popular trust-the-process quotes to help you let go and believe.

Sometimes, when something doesn’t work out as you wanted, there’s something better coming your way. Although it’s difficult to believe in ‘something better’ from where you stand, sometimes, redirection is a helpful intervention, leading you away from problems you could not predict and towards benefits you could not imagine. Sometimes, mistakes lead you to lessons learned and growth gained. All of which will help you to become more and get more than you might have become and gotten otherwise.
– Karen Salmansohn

– Napoleon Hill
Don’t aim at success – the more you aim at it and make it a target, the more you are going to miss it. For success, like happiness, cannot be pursued; it must ensue and it only does so as the unintended side effect of one’s dedication to a cause greater than oneself or as the by product of one’s surrender to a person other than oneself. Happiness must happen, and the same holds for success: you have to let it happen by not caring about it.

– Thomas Edison
Skill in any performance whether it be in sports in playing the piano in conversation or in selling merchandise consists not in painfully and consciously thinking out each action as it is performed but in relaxing and letting the job do itself through you.

And the task of building a good habit is like cultivating a delicate flower one day at a time.

Trust the process origin
Trust in the process was the title of a book on addiction released in 1996 and another guidebook for artists in 1998. However, the phrase became popular in 2013 when it was used as a slogan by fans of the NBA Philadelphia 76ers.
The team had a new general manager in Sam Hinkie who advocated for a focus on process over outcome. He coordinated a series of moves that began the process of tanking. Or trading short-term wins in exchange for better players in the future. Although unpopular to some, 76ers fans went on Twitter to post their approval of Hinkie’s process, saying “in Hinkie we trust.”
Hinkie also brought up trust and process when he discussed his relationship with the team’s head coach Brett Brown. And when shared on Twitter by sportswriter Matt Lombardo, the tweet read: “[E]mbrace the struggles for the rest of the year and trust in Hinkie, the process” and the rest, as they say, is (quote) history.
Why do we need to trust the process?
For the 76ers the trust the process slogan for them essentially means “things may look bad now, but we have a plan in place to make it better.”
However, if you apply it to life in general, it can mean focusing, trusting, or having faith in things you can control, such as the process or actions involved in achieving a goal, rather than the outcome itself.
Focusing on your daily habits, small victories, and the details of getting to your end goal can help to push fear and worry aside. Moreover, it allows you to be fully present at the moment and improves your patience while waiting for the outcome.
Furthermore, focusing on the journey helps you develop your character by making you more resilient, and open to change. It develops in you a positive mindset and increases your confidence, among other things.
This is due to the fact that trusting the process necessitates your commitment to your daily habits. To paraphrase Confucius, “it is the daily carrying of small stones that removes the mountain.”
So find joy in your daily activities. Allow it to act as an internal motivator, propelling you forward on your journey.
Celebrate each step you take, hustle, and work hard. Be enriched by new learnings, overcome obstacles, smile through the tears, and rejoice in the belief that you will eventually get there.
