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

Dxrzs6cV4AAGJG4

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.

Perseverance is failing 19 times and succeeding the 20th – Julie Andrews

There’s no way you can put a number on your personal successes. You may feel apprehensive because you have failed a few times. Just know that everyone who has ever succeeded at anything has failed their fair share. Persevere. It may be the next one.

Failure will never overtake me if my determination to succeed is strong enough – Og Mandino

Setback and failure are not the same. If you hit a snag, it doesn’t mean to sit down and never get off the bench again. The reason we procrastinate is because our determination is not strong. What do you really want in life?

A creative man is motivated by the desire to achieve, not by the desire to beat others – Ayn Rand
