The Process Person
When I say that a person is a Process Person, I mean they are actively engaged in something productive at all times, always moving forward, always taking actions, always growing and expanding what they know, and what they experience. A process person is often seen as eccentric, and sloppy. They can be seen as obsessive about doing something that they care about. They keep moving forward leaving a mess behind them. They can’t be bothered to clean up the projects of the past, but always have that focus to move forward and accomplish something else, learn something new, grow a little further, reach a little farther.
In a world that teaches us to maintain the status quo, to perpetuate “proven and safe methods of success”, to take the road most travelled, the process person sees the hidden, unrevealed potential of life and the experience it has to offer. They are often called day dreamers, silly, idealistic and non-conforming. In truth, they are looking to either build on current ideas to improve them in unconventional ways, or they are willing to make a complete break with established modes of thought and revolutionize the world. They never ‘fail’, they only learn, and move forward never dwelling on the past.
Are you a maintenence person, or a process person? The world needs both, and there is no shame in either.
