Quote

The elevator to success is out of order. You'll have to use the stairs... one step at a time.

The essence of this quote is one that took me a while to grasp. I always thought my goals, and dreams would and should come to me automatically and with very little effort. I thought "the elevator" was my transport.

I have finally come to realize that for most of us there is no elevator waiting to take us to the success we desire. Instead there are "stair" steps waiting to move us up one step at a time by sweat equity, tears, perserverence, and good old fashion hard work.

So I encourage all of you to realize that fact. Your dreams and goals are not likely to be come by the space of a night. If they do then it is quite possible that your dreams and goals are not set very high. Tend to your path everyday, step by step, and watch progress be made. When knocked down, get back up and take another step forward. In time you will see the possibility of your dreams and goals draw closer and closer.
