You cannot expect to do great when something good happens in life unless you handle small challenges efficiently. It would be difficult to handle success and power when you somehow bypassed the journey of becoming great. When someone misses to experience the process of achievement, it is hard to maintain and handle the privileges of a better life.
Typically the journey or the process one could go through would be riddled with challenges, unexpected events, road blocks, rejections, failures, criticism, being misunderstood, missed parties and celebrations, harsh words from loved ones, denial, embarrassments, trial and errors, sleepless nights, doing hard work alone, being your own cheerleader, strange looks from others, being told you are not good enough etc,.
Once you reach your goal, maintaining success is even more difficult. I believe that our daily rituals and those boring repetitive tasks we do daily would help us to get us through the fortunes of life without getting too casual. The hardships, challenges, trials and tribulations during the process of reaching the peak would keep us grounded and grateful to what we have and achieved. Hence going through the hard stuff and who you become during the process of becoming successful is more important than the destination itself.
As Les Brown said “There is a system to success. The system is something most people are afraid of which is consistent hard work. The system works when you work.”.
Faith is important when we take up any task that is larger than us. We need to keep taking small steps in the right direction brick by brick. For instance it is like driving a vehicle on a highway at night. Our vehicle headlights would light up the road only to a short distance. Our job is to drive our vehicle safely and efficiently until the road is visible. As we drive through the highway in this manner we most certainly would reach our destination.
Similarly our job is to constantly tend to our larger mission in life. We need to focus on the next step and achieve it with best of our abilities. When we complete a task then we move on to next one and be done with it. Never ignore the daily practices that keep you overall well-being in check and keeps you grounded as you progress in life.
