James Allen said, “At the root of every success there is some form of well-husbanded and well-directed energy. There has been some persistent brooding of the mind upon a project. Success is like a flower; it may appear more or less suddenly, but is the finished product of a long series of efforts, of preparatory stages. Men see the success, but the preparation for it, the innumerable mental processes that led up to it, are hidden from them.”

Success takes time. It won’t happen overnight.

Do not be afraid to pursue your goals.

Do not compare yourself to others.

Let them live their lives. You live your own life.

Whatever you are doing, do not give up until you are done.

Be strong. Be brave. With hard work, with determination, you will succeed.
