I recently hired a new assistant. She is smart, sharp, beautiful, intrepid and affable. She had a superb 
first week. By the end of the second week she faded out and never showed up for her third week. She's still MIA.
I watched another friend of mine get so excited about a new job, or a new opportunity. He would dedicate himself wholeheartedly for a few weeks, then, when he failed to garner the expected results he just quit. He's done that time and time again and he's been in the same spot for many years and will probably always stay there...
Why do people do that? What can you expect to achieve in a few short weeks? Regardless of how hard you work, or how gifted or talented you are, you still need to put in the time element. Keeping at it day after day, believing in it, focusing on it and CONSISTENTLY chipping away and sculpting your dream, that's how you make it happen!
It took Michelangelo four years to paint the Sistine chapel. It took Marie Curie four years of the most arduous work in the most difficult physical conditions to process a TON of pitchblende in order to isolate ONE-TENTH OF A GRAM of radium chloride and another eight years to isolate the pure radium metal. It took Margaret Mitchell almost ten years to write "Gone with the Wind". It takes nine months of gestation before a baby is created. NOTHING is achieved overnight. Accomplishments, like babies, are "birthed" over time.
So whether you want that killer body or that oceanfront beach home, remember: chip away at your dreams one day at a time! Some days you only have enough in you to make a very small dent, but you keep sculpting your dreams CONSISTENTLY. You can do more to accomplish your goals by doing a little, tiny bit each and every day, than by laboring intensely in spurts...
LIFE IS SHORT. LIVE IT WELL!
