Many experts suggest you establish a series of mini-goals or stepping stones. Use these stepping stones to keep moving towards and reach your ultimate goal!
A vacillating man, no matter what his abilities, is invariably pushed to the wall in the race of life by a determined will. It is he who resolves to succeed, and who at every fresh rebuff begins resolutely again, that reaches the goal. The shores of fortune are covered with the stranded wrecks of men of brilliant ability, but who have wanted courage, faith and decision, and have therefore perished in sight of more resolute but less capable adventurers, who succeeded in making port.
How many good, well intentioned men have failed their quest because they lacked the courage to make a first effort? Had they only have resolved to begin, would have astonished the world by their achievements and successes.
The fact is, as Sydney Smith has well said, that in order to do anything in this world that is worth doing, we must not stand shivering on the bank, thinking of the cold and the danger, but jump in and scramble through as well as we can. No one ever reached the peak without first getting started. Without taking those first steps toward their goal!
"Circumstances," says Milton, "have rarely favored famous men. They have fought their way to triumph over all sorts of obstacles." What can you do with a man who has an invincible purpose in him; who never knows when he is beaten? Difficulties and opposition do not daunt him. He thrives upon persecution; it only stimulates him to try harder and press on with more determined effort.
You can achieve amazing success. Enjoy your journey. Keep moving - with a constant focus on what you want. Concentrate your efforts on the goals you set for yourself. And - as the great statesman, Churchill once said - "Never, ever give up". You can reach your peak! You can win and enjoy your road to success!
