Success is a Journey of Endurance
“First say to yourself what you will be; and then do,
what you have to do. Life is a grindstone, whether it
wears you down or polishes you up depends
on what you are made of.”
Zig Ziglar 1926 – 2012, American Author,
Salesman and Motivational Speaker
As I see it. . . . . . . .
Success is a journey of endurance
Your success journey starts with a
vision that you have for the future and the first step in the right direction.
Your dreams for the future . . . . see
the things that you want to accomplish. Let those visions become crystal clear
in their mind on what they are . . . . and on what you want accomplish.
Even with a crystal clear vision . . . .
success can remain elusive. Why?
A dream remains a dream of what can be.
It not until you decide to take action on your dreams . . . . will anything positive
happen to live them. The moment that you take positive action on your dreams .
. . . you start your success journey to fulfill your dreams.
Once you decide to take action on your
dreams . . . . you have to create a road map to achieve your desired results. Turn your dreams into written goals with a timeline
to achieve them. Your goals become an effective way to measure your forward progress
. . . . They create the mile markers to keep you moving in the right direction.
Written goals can make all the
difference on your success journey hitting its mark.
Having written goals create a sense of
purpose in your days . . . . and in your activities. The closer your goals are
aliened with your activities the steadier your success journey will become.
Control the use of your time . . . . and
the energy that you’re put into your days. Focus your activities on the actions
that will move you forward and closer to your fulfilling your goals and dreams.
Wasting your time and energy moves you
further away from your dreams and leaves you with a feeling of exhaustion being
unfulfilled.
Your success journey will experience
many twists and turns along the way some creating an expressway and some creating
a detour. No matter what conditions you face on your success journey . . . . Your
conditions become temporary conditions that you’re able to adjust to or work around
when you have written goals and a plan to guide you.
You have to remain focused on your objectives
. . . . and many times your success journey becomes a journey of endurance.
Stay strong . . . . stays focused . . . . and keep moving forward.
Success is a journey is a journey of
endurance . . . . not an expressway.
