You can achieve anything…
…step by step.
If success were easy, just about everyone you know would be successful in their chosen field. Unfortunately, success is rare. Most people avoid doing the “hard” work needed to reach their vision.
Why is the work “hard”? It’s often because we intimidate ourselves. We imagine the entire project and how daunting it is. We don’t even realize that we are the ones stopping ourselves.
We meet resistance, and then do the easy stuff we already know, which is usually the things that aren’t that important. We keep delaying our most important work.
And yet here is the truth — step by step, we can get anywhere we want to go!
Nothing is too difficult, if you are willing to take the baby steps forward. Just keep taking the steps forward to learn and do better.
For any project, no matter how large, you can always “chunk it down” to bite-sized pieces. The key is to keep moving forward.
An inspiring example is Naveen Jain — who has created a company that will take humans back to the moon in the next decade. He’s not a rocket scientist. But step by step, he learned what was necessary. Step by step, he made the connections to the right technicians and financiers. Now, the moon is within reach.
