Achieving Success: "It is not the big things in life; it is the little things"

As we close out the month of June, I came across this quote which seemed a particularly poignant reflection on progress and achievement; "Success is not achieved in an instant, but through countless tiny choices."


It is not the grandiose plans or the big, splashy events which make us or build success; it is the small and often almost overlooked, tiny details which create amazing results. The secret to great accomplishments lies in our ability to commit to a goal, follow the steps needed to succeed, and stay the course even when derailed or discouraged.




Here's a powerful visual about the value of small steps.
 



Remember: obstacles will rise up to halt progress; roadblocks are lying ahead of you around each corner; distractions and the tug of daily responsibilities will wear you down and threaten your vision. Don't pretend those bumps in the road won't happen to you, because that's not a realistic attitude and will thus lead to disappointment - but instead, accept the challenges which present themselves and view them as merely a part of this thing called life.




FIND your thing.
DEFINE the path.
FOCUS forward.




"Nothing worth having comes easy" - put another way, if you're sitting on the side of the road waiting for good things to fall into your lap, you're wasting your time. Real achievement comes from within.
