You’ve heard it a million times. Learn to love the process, not the results, and you’ll never worry again. You’ll be successful every day. Grow taller. Lose 10 pounds.

I get it. Focus on the process, which you can control, not the results, which you can’t, and you’ll feel more grounded. We humans crave control.

Take this year’s Halloween costume. Every year, I dread going to those abandoned retail stores temporarily selling overpriced, junky costumes that won’t even last until next year. (If it even makes it to this Halloween.)

A couple years ago, I was allergic to the foam or spray paint. Thank god for steroids to help get rid of the hives. This year, I stabbed myself with an X-Acto knife. It was fine. Quick bandage. Back to burning my fingers on hot glue sticks.

I could just skip Halloween. But that’s lame. I like doing Halloween stuff with friends and family. Could I spend a bunch at a fly-by-night costume shop? Sure. But no.
