Success

The other day I had two thoughts about reaching my goals:
  1. Things take work (I have to put effort into things if I ever hope to see them happen.)
  2. Not everything works (Just because I put effort into something doesn't mean it will succeed.)
Now of course these are obvious facts but it was a bit of a revelation or epiphany to me. I am very lazy and so I tend to get stuck at number 1. I am also easily discouraged and so I get hung up at number 2 as well. I still have dreams and goals like everybody but so many of them have remained eternally frustrate because of these two facts. I figure I need to believe in myself and that will hopefully lead to others believing in me which will then propel me to sustained action. I really do believe some of my dreams are awesome. I just want more of them to see the light of day.

    Another point is that you will have to do mundane and even unpleasant things to accomplish your goals.
