There are times in our lives when we labor so hard, for so long, that it may feel that we have nothing to show for it. That we have failed. We get discouraged, because we don’t achieve what we yearned for or anticipated.But a lack of desired results doesn’t mean we failed…it means we have locked our sights on the end result, instead of focusing on the process itself.No one can guarantee your success.What you can do, however, is consistently act—progressing towards your goals, so that your chances of success grows exponentially with each step you take.
