The Secret of Constant Effort

The Secret of Constant Effort

“Constant effort and frequent mistakes

are the stepping stones to genius.”

Elbert Hubbard 1856 – 1915, American Writer,

Publisher, Artist, Philosopher

 

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

The secret of constant effort

 

The secret of constant effort is not in the moving . . . . The secret is in the moving in the right direction.

 

Effort without purpose and direction becomes scatted . . . . One of wasted effort . . . . and one that will result in very little . . . . or no return for your efforts. Effort with a purpose will move you in the right direction . . . . the direction of successfully achieving your goals.

 

You efforts will become far more productive because of your focus . . . . Making far better use of your time when their purpose driven.

 

Keep you activities continually moving you in the right direction . . . . and you continually moving closer to achieving your goals.

 

When you make a mistake find the best possible solution to the condition. Take the corrective actions to correct the mistake . . . . move forward . . . . and put the mistake behind you.

 

Making a mistake is a temporary condition . . . . and only becomes a problem if you fail to act to correct it.

 

Continue to make daily progress through a constant effort to reach your goals . . . . and your success journey will stay on purpose.

 

The secret of constant effort . . . . is that your efforts create the stepping stones to greater success . . . . and every step becomes important in achieving your desired outcome.

Effort needs to happen everyday, you'll never reach big goals in a day, a week or even years, but you'll add those stepping stones everytime and get closer every step. If you do fail, it is probably a great lesson and as long as you get going again with that knowlege failure is good.
