When it comes to success, when it comes to our dreams, my friends, it is going to take time. Nothing happens overnight. There is no such thing as overnight success. As the saying goes, “You can’t make a baby in one day.” It takes nine months to make a baby. So if you want to get to where you want to be, you must be patient with yourself. Believe that you can get there. But do not just believe, take action to make your dreams come true. Only action can change lives. Only action can get you out of your safe zone. Only action can make you a better person.

When you are starting out, it is not going to be easy. You are going to struggle. You are going to fail. But if you have the courage to stick with what you are doing, if you have the courage to nurture your dreams, you can create your life. Just believe in yourself. It is about you, your future. It is not about other people.

If you can remember that nothing happens overnight, then you can accomplish anything in your life. Don’t give up on yourself. No matter how tough, keep going, keep trying, keep making mistakes, keep loving yourself.

The only easy way to get to where you want to be is to focus on what you are doing right now, do it well, stick with it, and never give up no matter what.

Growth Vs. Safety

“You will either step forward into growth, or you will step backward into safety.”- Abraham Maslow

Life is about growth. Everything in life is growing. If you are not growing, what are you doing? Check what you are doing on a daily basis. Because how you live your day is exactly how you are living your life. If you don’t like the results, change what you do everyday. If you like it, continue doing it.

Since growth is so important to us, why do so many of us prefer safety over growth?

That has everything to do with who we are as human beings. People don’t like to change what they are comfortable with. You don’t even like to leave your bed in the morning, let alone doing something that you haven’t done before. We love to do what we are comfortable with. But the problem is, the more we do that, the more we will remain where we are. So to move forward, you must pursue growth, not safety. Because:

Growth is uncomfortable. Safety is comfortable.

Growth involves stretching yourself. Safety involves maintaining what you already know.

Growth is scary. Safety is status quo.

Growth is movement. Safety is the opposite.

Growth is change. Safety is the opposite.

Growth is living. Safety is dying.

Growth is forward. Safety is backward.

If you want to achieve your dreams, growth is the way.
