Philosopher and writer Alain de Botton wrote,
''I think where people tend to end up results
from a combination of encouragement, accident,
and lucky break, etc. etc.'
Encouragement brings out the best in people.
But to be successful, to grow, encouragement
alone is not enough. You need more than that.
You need you to succeed. You need a healthy inner life
to succeed.
And you have got to be willing to face your music.
To get what you want, according to Dr. Henry Cloud,
'...you have to go through a moment of pain to get
to the place you want to be.' If you are willing to do it,
to face your pain, to face your journey, you can do it.
But you are going to be very patient with yourself.
Because great things take time.
''Nothing in life ... even a few broken bones, is without its reward.''- John le Carrie, writer
Work is hard, but it has its reward. Doing what you have not done before is scary, but it has its reward.
It does not matter what you are doing, where you are doing it, do not get discouraged. Do not let the toughness discourage you.
Focus on the reward, not the pain.
Focus on what you are becoming, not on what you are going through.
When it comes to success, nothing is without its reward.
