This is how you win: “When life gives you lemons, make a lemonade.” Don’t wait for the perfect time to win. There is no perfect time to win. You can make your time perfect. And you cannot win if you don’t know what you want out of life. And you cannot win if you do not start. In the words of John Maxwell, “You cannot win if you do not begin!” Yes, he is right. To start is to win. To start is to lose. But if you don’t start, you cannot win. If you want to move ahead, you must start now.

You cannot grow yourself if you are not ready and willing to grow. Creativity doesn’t happen overnight. Your personal or professional growth is not going to happen overnight. If you want it, you have got be patient with yourself.

You have got to be patient with yourself. If you don’t give up on yourself, you can grow yourself. It is going to take some time. But to get there, according to Earl Prevette, “Things are not built as a whole, but in parts, and each part must be built. You must build a little each day.” If you need to grow badly, it is not going to happen overnight. You have got to commit yourself to it to make it happen.

You are going to lay your foundation one brick at a time. And before you lay your brick, you must know yourself. You can’t grow yourself if you don’t yourself. According to John Maxwell, “You must know yourself to grow yourself.” Are you ready to grow yourself? If you are ready, just lay one brick at a time.
