Sometimes we forget that in order to achieve success it’s a process.  It’s like trying to make to the top without having to climb up the stairs.  It’s not possible to get there without the hard work in between.

We live in a world where the media shows us so-called ‘overnight’ success stories.  But the reality is these people didn’t become who they are in just the blink of an eye.  They have been working, striving and doing the things necessary to achieve the goal.  It’s like yesterday’s post about being prepared for opportunity.  When a person is ready, the success seems to have come quickly to the outsider.  But that person knows the truth about how many hours, days and years they have been working towards this moment.

As you build toward your success remember that it’s a journey to the top of the staircase.  Take each step carefully and plan what you will be doing as you get higher and higher.  Without a plan or carefully walking up, it’s so much easier to fall down the staircase.
