trust the process

trust the process

Have faith that everything will work out as planned. The phrase has become uniquely associated with the Philadelphia 76ers basketball team and its effort to rebuild after a string of poor seasons that allowed the acquisition of several high draft picks (one of whom, Joel Embiid, has been nicknamed "The Process" by extension). I know it looks bad now, but it'll all work out. Just trust the process.
