When you walk certain paths, it's not as simple as you think. You may assume you are doing your best for the others, but it might be invisible for them.
Most people don't look at the process. They don't give you a chance to explain the reason. They don't trust you enough to listen to your reasons. Even worse, they blame you for the imperfect things. Even for the things that you thought as the best efforts to please them. They are only focus on the results.
That's the contrary facts they did when they talk about respecting the process. It feels a little bit unfair for you to go through this way, but you have to move forward. Don't let the troubles stop and block your way. Strengthen yourself that you are worthy to reach your aspirations.
