Motivational Power Quote
The Secret of Getting Ahead
"The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
The secret of getting started is breaking
your complex overwhelming tasks
into small manageable task
and then starting on the first one."
Mark Twain, American author and humorist
As I see it. . . . . . . .
The secret of getting ahead
The secret of getting ahead is the mindset of taking the actions that are required to pull you in the right direction.
Skills, motivation or desire by themselves will not make you a success. Success is achieves when you combined your skills motivation and desire into your activities and actions. By combining our talents we create the forward momentum that will push your forward into the direction of your goals.
As we move forward we will encounter many situations that will have to be managed properly to keep us moving in the right direction. We will encounter situations that at first glance would seem overwhelming; that we feel could derail our forward progress. When confronted with a situation break the conditions drown into manageable tasks and work on the smaller tasks until you have successfully taken an overwhelming situation and resolved the condition one pierce at the time.
Managing overwhelming situations is in our attitude of how do you eat an elephant? The answer is that we eat the elephant one bit at a time. Big issues or conditions are resolved one step at a time.
The secret of getting ahead is to focus on the road in front of you and continue to make progress one step at the time in the direction of your goals.
