Persevere

The greatest accomplishments happen when you get just a little way beyond the point where others would have quit. The difference between someone who enjoys magnificent success, and someone who just managed to get by, is the willingness to do whatever it takes, for as long as it takes, to reach the goal. How far away are you, from reaching your destination? If you quit before you get there you are infinitely far away. Make the commitment to keep going, and suddenly you are almost there.

Go beyond where others are willing to go. Put in the extra effort. The time will pass anyway, whether you use it or now. It just makes sense to make the most out of every moment. Give a little more than others are willing to give, be a little more patient, have a little more curiosity, take a little more responsibility, learn a few more things, and it will make all the difference in the world.

Accomplishment endures Stop Dreaming Start Action

What will you do today, that will matter tomorrow? Excitement and thrills fade, and become fond memories. Pleasure and comfort become monotonous. What endures? Accomplishment. Get something done today, something that makes a difference, and you’ll reap the benefits for a long time to come. Accomplishment brings many things: money, satisfaction, confidence, skills, respect, influence, knowledge, and more. These are things that last long after you’re finished. And they’ll help you to build one accomplishment on top of another, on top of another, and so on.

As you go about your day, there will be things you need to do, things you want to do, things you absolutely must do. Remember, in all your doing, the value of accomplishment. Shift your focus from what you’re doing, to what you’re getting done. What comes from all your activity? What are you accomplishing? What are you building, collecting, creating, selling, distributing, managing, or improving? What are you accomplishing?

What will you have at the end of today, that you didn’t have this morning? What actions will make that happen? When you just “get through” the day, and spend it in idleness, it will soon be gone. When you invest the day in accomplishment, it will always be with you.
Back away and be amazed
Sometimes we get so close to a situation, that we are unable to see the value in it. A job, a relationship, a business, a product, a lifestyle — whatever it is, familiarity, as the saying goes, can breed contempt. Or, more accurately, familiarity can breed complacence and ignorance.

For example, if you’ve been married for a while, you think in your own mind that you know your spouse very well. And so you rarely make the effort to get to know him or her any better.

If something is troubling you, you’re often inclined to get rid of it. Yet if you back away from it, and look objectively at all the various components of the situation, you may find just one small aspect that is the source of all the trouble. It would be senseless to discard the ninety-five percent that’s valuable, in order to get rid of the five percent that’s causing the problem.

Your life is full of value. Yet it’s often so much a part of you, that you don’t even see it. Stand back and take a good look. Sure, there are parts that need repair, but you’ll be amazed at all the good things you see Stop Dreaming Start Action.
