That’s how I feel—far too often. I had all these ambitious plans for 2019. Real Life laughed and said, “Think again.”
It's not as if I'm lounging on the couch every day and inhaling chocolate candies either. I use my time for work, home, family, and friends, but it's a let-down to watch the days slip away with not enough accomplished.
Good Advice to Remember
Nothing great was ever created quickly. To develop a great scientific discovery, to paint a masterpiece, to write a book, to become a minister or a college graduate–to do anything great or different requires time, patience, and perseverance.
Success is achieved by degrees, little by little, like water filling a gallon bucket, one drop at a time.
Michelangelo did not paint the Sistine Chapel ceiling in a day. Mozart did not compose his most famous work in a day, Milton did not write Paradise Lost at one sitting, nor did Shakespeare create Hamlet in a day.
Just as the most famous musicians begin with basic musical notes and artists first draw with Crayons, the greatest writer who ever lived began with the alphabet.
The ABCs lead to words which leads to anything from articles and blogging to novels and nonfiction books.
Takeaway Truth
You too must start with baby steps toward whatever wish to achieve. Baby steps lead to giant steps. Accept and get started.
