You can achieve success in your life, but it takes hard work. If you are ready to commit yourself, you are ready to make your dreams come true. You are responsible for making your life a masterpiece. No one will do it for you. Gillian Anderson said, “Just remember, you can do anything you set your mind to, but it takes action, perseverance, and facing your fears.”

“In all matters, before beginning, a diligent preparation should be made.”- Cicero

When it comes to your dreams, just start where you are. Do not talk about what you don’t have. It is easier to talk about what is not there than to talk about what you can do to change your destiny. Remember, if you don’t take action, if you don’t take the first step, you aren’t going anywhere.

“If you want to be successful in a particular field of endeavor, I think perseverance is one of the key qualities.”- George Lucas

You can change that. You can change your life. To do that, you must do the things that are in alignment with your life purpose. Don’t do the things that are not moving you closer to your destination. Do not waste your time. Nothing is free. If you want to achieve something, you have to take action, the right action, to get it. If not, you are not going to get to your destination.

To succeed in life, we must start. To keep it going, to keep growing it, to keep adding value to our lives, we must persevere. We must face our fears. It doesn’t matter what we do, to keep it going, we must stick with our dreams. We must put our plans in front of us. We must live them every day. Do not give up. No matter how hard, no matter how tough, if you want to succeed, if you want to know yourself, you “must run to the end.” You must complete what you start. In the words of Elias Lyman Magoon, “The practice of perseverance is the discipline of the noblest virtues. To run well, we must run to the end. It is not the fighting but the conquering that gives a hero his title to renown.” That is, if you want to make it in life, you must keep working.
