PERSISTENCE

To reach a dream that seems remote you must round every bend,
Instead of always turning back to retrace your steps again

Sometimes it can seem like the journey towards a particular goal will never end, but it’s important to remember that as long as you keep heading towards the goal and taking a step forward you will get there.

Just like on a real journey, for 99% of the time you aren’t at your destination, but that doesn’t mean you aren’t getting closer!

Think of it this way, if you were driving from Brisbane to Sydney, would you turn around at Port Macquarie just because you couldn’t see Sydney yet?

Intention For The Week

Be aware of a major dream in your life – what it is you really want – and keep moving towards it.

Simple Empowerment Steps

1. Find something that will remind you of your dream and place it where you will see it every day.

This could be a picture, a book, or simply you writing your dream on a card or in a journal that you read each day.

2. Forget about how near or far the dream seems from you and focus instead on a single step.

What is something you can do today that will take you one step closer to that dream?

Don’t worry if the step is a large or small one provided it’s heading towards your dream.

3. Repeat Step 2 tomorrow, and each day after that.

The more regularly you take a single step – whether large or small – the faster you will reach your dream.

If you stop taking steps towards your dream you’ll stop moving closer. If this happens, remember that it doesn’t matter what you did or didn’t do yesterday, you can always take another step today.

And you never know when your dream may be hidden around just the next bend!
