You deserve success, and it comes with hard work. Take time to personally define the details of what success means to you; then get ready to roll up your sleeves and put in some effort.
Often, the easiest part is identifying the dream. What is most challenging is the various actions steps, both internal and external, required to build it. It is important to consistently put forth effort – actively engaged in a process of hard-work – to create your dream of success into reality.
We are initially excited and driven by newfound dream or goal, and we are not connected with the challenging aspects of the process until in the midst of it. It suddenly hits at the first start of delay or disappointment. There will be days where it seems things are effortlessly falling into place while others may seem you are hitting brick wall after brick wall. The good days are awesome and bring a natural boost, but it a very different experience when there are roadblocks.
Emotional exhaustion and discouragement can quickly settle in after delays and hitting too many roadblocks. Suddenly, it seems the vision is further beyond reach. The biggest challenge will be fueling your continued effort – emotional drive and interest – during the discouraging moments. It is important to find ways to stay focused on remaining emotionally connected and actively engaged in action steps that is creating your dream into a reality.
