When You Want the Prize - Go After It

“Without ambition one starts nothing.

Without work one finishes nothing.

The prize will not be sent to you.

You have to win it.”

Ralph Waldo Emerson 1803 - 1882, American Essayist,

Lecturer, Poet  

 

As I see it. . . . . . . .

When you want the prize – go after it

 

The first step in getting the prize is to put yourself into gear . . . and get started. And go after the prize with a sense of purpose . . . . and determination to get it.

 

The prize is there for you to get. But it won’t be dropped . . . . into your lap. If you want the prize bad enough . . . . you will have to go after it.

 

The road to the prize has many twists and turns . . . . with every twist and turn that you encounter . . . . and successfully navigate . . . . you get closer to the prize. The prize is there for you when you remain focused on getting the prize . . . . and not become side tracked with the obstacles that you encounter.

 

To achieve the prize you have to commit yourself to pursue the prize with a persistent effort . . . . until you achieve your desires results.

 

When you want the prize go after it . . . . Be committed to stay the course . . . . and consistently move in the direction of the prize.

 Those are wise words from Ralph Waldo Emerson  Lou Ludwig .  It just goes to show that commonsense rules even though this was written over 100 years ago ..

Great post!   Setting achievable goals and viewing those periodically will help keep your eye on the prize.  Mine is a picture of a beach in Spain that I visited with girlfriends a few years back.  I'd like to go again!

Lou,

 You know I always notice someone ambition or lack of it. It has to be the right balance at least for me!

A prize is like a goal.  Nothing comes from nothing.

Hi Lou Ludwig ,  The prize may be just getting something done.  Your lawn won't mow itself.  That raw steak won't cook itself.
