Achieving Dreams by Finishing What You Start

Source: Litman Live 

Achieving one’s dreams is like rolling a huge rock uphill. It’s an uphill battle that takes energy, drive and momentum. Realizing this, each day, ask yourself the question, what have I done to achieve my ultimate goal today? Keep in mind that each day’s accomplishments build on the next; so you must keep your momentum up to get to the finish line. Do what you can at your own pace, even if that means slowly, but do it passionately and regularly in a much focused manner. This will help you to slowly but surely climb the learning curve and build your "muscles" over time.

There’s no point in starting something and not finishing it. That’s wasted time and effort you could have invested in something else. So many excellent ideas die before they are implemented because people are often not focused. Anything you want to do, begin doing it, no matter how small or how crude it appears. The world's greatest inventions started out looking cruder than yours and no product’s first version is its best or last because ideas and versions grow and evolve often. Keep your focus on your dream as much as you can for as long as you can, but when you see yourself putting in double the effort, but producing only half the normal results, realize it's time for a break.

Take well deserved short breaks, but never lose sight of your ultimate vision. Don’t let your breaks, derail or distract you from realizing your long term goal of working on and refining your product till it becomes a success. Keeping in mind that everything has it's time and some things take much longer than planned, as much as it is within your power, finish what you start because that's the only road to true success, and others will be encouraged by your path and your success.

A word is enough for the wise….
