What happens when you trust the process?

Comedian Karen Mills had one main job as a high-level college basketball player.

She was to pass the ball to the team’s center to take the shot.

Despite barely taking any shots herself during games, her coach made her successfully make 250 shots at practice before letting her go home.

That means, every four practices, she was making 1,000 successful shots.

Mills said, “I didn’t understand why I had to stay and shoot when I didn’t hardly shoot in the game.”

She soon learned why.

In their championship game, she followed the game plan and passed to the center player. But opposing team members were preventing the center from shooting. So, the center passed the ball to Mills.

With seconds to go, Mills shot the ball and scored the game-winning point. Her team won the championship.

Her coach had forced her to make thousands of successful shots during practice, and now she understood why.

"Practice matters," Mills said.

She trusted the process. She put in the work. She trusted her coach.

With writing, trusting the process and having guidance supports your imagination and helps you create meaningful stories.

I believe in you.
