The chances are, the biggest reason you are dragging your feet is because the chips are stacked against you. Your future is more important than the difficulty of getting done. Think about where you will be in a month. In six months. In a year. Now do it.

Faith is taking the first step even when you don’t see the whole staircase. – Martin Luther King Jr.

It can be so hard to take that first step when the rest of the journey is unclear, or even totally unknown. But that is what life is like, each step we take is really a step of faith because we never know what’s ahead, we just have to carry on and deal with what happens next to the best of our abilities. Here Dr. King reminds us that we’ll never be able to see the whole staircase, no matter if it’s an important project, a relationship, or the totality of our lives. It matters not, because as long as you have faith in that first step, the next will appear.

It takes a great deal of courage to stand up to your enemies, but even more to stand up to your friends. – J. K. Rowling

It does take courage to make a stand and go up against your enemies, but what happens when it’s your friends that you have to stand up to? This is when it becomes very hard indeed to go against the grain and stand up for what you believe is right. So many times young women are lured into what their group of friends is saying or doing, even when they know it’s not right. It may end up that you’re not friends with those people anymore, but you’ll make new friends that share your values.

The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing – Stephen R. Covey

This is more than just a redundant phrase. The truth is that we often lose sight of where we want to be in life. Instead, we get caught up in the minutiae of what we must get “done” by some foreseen deadline. Measure things in the frame of your end goal.

Don’t watch the clock; do what it does. Keep going – Sam Levenson

When we lose motivation, we start to look at the clock. Whether it’s on a daily basis or a yearly basis, we get lost in what we’re not doing. Instead, keep going. Focus on right now. Get things done today… right now.

No bird soars too high if he soars with his own wings – William Blake

Motivation will almost always beat mere talent – Norman Ralph Augustine

There might be someone out there who is more talented than you. Maybe they have more natural ability. Maybe they have more resources. The truth is, when you start working toward your goal, you’ll be stronger because you had to overcome those limitations.

“I never dreamed about success. I worked for it.” ~ Estée Lauder

Here’s a success tip from someone that achieved high levels of success. She’s saying that dreaming of success won’t get you there all by itself. You have to have a dream, but you’ll stay a dreamer unless you back up your dream with work. Learn this lesson early on in your life and it will pay dividends all the time. If things aren’t working out the way you want them to it likely means you’re not putting in enough work to make them happen. Get a clear focus, a clear dream, a clear goal, and then follow up with focused work.
