How to Start, Survive and Finish Your Journey to Success

"The more you hate, the more you love."

What an ironic statement. Whoever said those words must
have been drunk. The bottom line is this: It is extremely
difficult to like or love something that you despise.

But what can we do to solve this dilemma? What if you're
trapped in an environment that you don't want to be involved
in? What if you're sick and tired of your job that you
feel like screaming every time someone mentions your work?

So what can you do? Of course, you take inspired and motivated action to
get out of your present rut and start living the life you've always dreamed of. Well you would, wouldn’t you?

If I said it wasn’t going to be easy and that you will have to
come out of your comfort zones to discover your potential and explore
opportunities waiting for you. And that you will have to conquer your
fear and take calculated risks. You have to stay focused
and persevere despite the difficulties you will encounter. You would still think it was worth it to give yourself a better life, the life you deserve.

Some people will have read the above paragraph and given up already. But let’s be realistic. Success doesn't come easy. It takes heart and passion. It may also take some time before you can actually se the benefits of your efforts. But making the effort is worth every moment, believe me.

But what you want to know is how do you actually survive this stage? This is the moment when you're working extra hard to reach your goals. This is also the instance when you're enduring whatever obstacle hits you.

For example, you're employed in a job that you hate. You know deep inside that you would not like to stay in the rat race throughout your life. So you decided to engage in a part-time business or to study night courses. This is a step in
the right direction because you have admitted to yourself that things
have to change for your life to get better.

So far so good. A few days later, you feel that time is running away
From you. You don’t seem to have time for family and friends, socializing is a thing of the past. You seem to be more busier than when you were in the job you hated. At least then you could leave the pressure behind in the office until the next day. You wonder what has gone wrong. If you are not careful you start doubting yourself and once negative thoughts get a hold of you, you might has well give up the fight.

This is the time to stop and reflect on what you are trying to achieve.
Remember we are only looking to making small changes every day to get the success we want.

Don’t attract negative influences into your life. You know what I mean. People who would like you to give up your goal so they can say “I told you it was going to be too hard for you to do”. These people make never have attempted to achieve their goals but feel they are the experts on what will work and what won’t.

Yes, you have to work harder, dig deeper, and may have to make some sacrifice reach your goals.

But no, you don't have to hate the world and feel bad about your difficult situation. Remember the Law of Attraction. If you hate the world, the world hates you back.

So what do you have to do?

Learn to love your current situation. See all the positive sides of life. Be enthusiastic. Love your boss, your coworkers, your family, your friends, and
even strangers that you meet on the streets. It may not be easy, but nothing is impossible with a strong willpower. Just don't fall in love so much that you
totally forget about your dreams.

Balance is the key. Dream and take some positive action to move you toward your goals. Take it one step at a time. But while you're slowly walking towards
the long journey to success, be patient and be as enthusiastic as possible. Don't be is such a rush that you forget how to enjoy life.

And one day, you will finally reach what you have always longed for.
And when that day comes, enjoy it. Encourage others to make their journeys. Be proof that it can be done.


When you see others who are less successful than yourself, help them. Let your positive personality rub off on them. Let them know there will be times when they feel they cannot achieve their goal. Explain that the bad time will pass and they will come out of it stronger and more determined to succeed.

Are you ready to begin the journey?

Start it with the courage and desire to improve your life. Survive
and go through it with persistence, enthusiasm, and
positive thinking. Finish it with a resounding bang
of accomplishment and with the desire to help others
succeed as well.
