As we move along this journey called life, every single thing that we do to help us grow and to enhance our lives – no matter how small or big – ever goes unnoticed nor is ever a wasted effort. Every single step we make and take moves us closer to our desired goal or goals. A mere thought put to action enables our dreams and desires to become reality. Everything we do is never for nothing – and as we move along with our minutes, hours, days and years, we must continue to remember that we can truly have everything we want, if we simply move with the courage in knowing that nothing we do is for nothing.
I deeply believe that nothing I do is for nothing. In fact, it is all a series of events, a chain, a link that brings me closer to what I want and where I want to be. I say what’s done is done, the past is the past, we should focus on the now and the future – but I highly recommend, that once you have achieved/accomplished something of great importance to you, take a look back at the steps you took, all the effort and hard work, and the series of events that made it all possible. Its self reflection at its best and a review of WHAT IT TOOK – what it took to enable you to get what you so passionately wanted, and/or what it took to get you where you so badly wanted to be.
Think about it and you may lay to rest the impatience and anxiety that overwhelms you when you make your moves and work your ass off with no immediate results or rewards. I mean we’re all guilty of it – feeling discouraged and distraught or even giving up all together because we don’t achieve nor accomplish what we ultimately want overnight. Let me tell you that the percentage of those overnight success are VERY small. Sure you may hear about them from time to time in the news, but think realistically of the millions and billions of people in the world who do not hit that get rich, win it all lottery without time, patience, hard work and perseverance. Nothing worthwhile in life is easy. Nothing.
From the guy or gal trying to shed 50 pounds, to the young entrepreneur looking to build an empire, to the aspiring artist looking to inspire and change the world. Nothing is for nothing. All the moves you make from hitting the gym at 6am on a cold winter’s day, to spending countless and endless hours reading and researching, to doing whatever it takes to get your name and work out there to the decision makers who matter most and can help direct you down the right path to success. It all starts with a thought, and then taking that thought and putting it into action. Heck this blog was created on that very recipe: thought + action. It will equal getting somewhere, moving you in the direction that leads to what you want and where you want to be. Be thoughtful and move gracefully, make sure you know WHAT you want and WHERE you want to go. Planning makes the actions you make and take all the more purposeful and purpose-driven.
Remember my friends, you want better health, you want a better physique, you want to run that marathon, well realize this, you cant get anywhere in life without taking A STEP. That is so true in anything that enables us to move forward and equally true in participating in a marathon. Each step brings us closer to the finish line.
