Success Is Not An Expressway   

"If at first you don't succeed

your running about average."

Marion Hamilton Alderson, Newspaper Editor

                                 

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

Success is not an expressway  

Success is attracted to those who are persistence in their efforts and are consistent in their activities. Successful people focus both their efforts and their activities on achieving their goals and the desired results.   

Success doesn't have a time table. It's the result of having a plan to give you direction and your goals will give you a target to aim at. By applying steady and sustained efforts reinforced by the determination to succeed you will be on the pathway to success.  

Have an unwavering commitment to your success and if you don't succeed at first, continue to try and try again and remain focused on your goals until they have been achieved.  

Success is not an expressway and their will be tolls to paid along the way. Commit yourself to your success journey and stay focus on the big picture and your goals. Work through your obstacles and setbacks and moving forward in the direction of your goals and success.

Lou, I agree 100%. Success is a process. It is not something most people achieve overnight. You have to work every day at it and over time you will get closer and closer to success.

The other important concept is how you define success. For some is money, for others is time with family, for others is the freedom to do what they want, etc, etc...

Maybe my own expectations of "greatness" in effect limits me from putting in the effort required... hmmm

That is so true. Nothing ever happens overnight, you have to constantly work on it.
