Are you the type of person who believes anything is possible, or do you fall on the other side of the coin? Do you think your dreams are too high to reach, or you can’t help but aim even higher? Well, whichever side you belong to, you probably know that the life you’re living right now isn’t the life you always want to live. Maybe you want it to be better, or you want to better yourself. Having said that, some part of you does believe that what you want is possible. All that it will take is determination. Being consistently determined is probably the hardest thing to do, but it isn’t impossible. What’s impossible is reaching your goals without the determination to do so.
For me, the first step to determination consists of believing that what you want to achieve is attainable. The second step is you believing that you’re capable of attaining that particular goal. Even so, what remains hard is waking up every single day and deciding that you’re going to put in the work whether you feel motivated or not. Just because you really worked hard the previous day or week, it doesn’t mean you should be complacent and think it’s enough. It is never enough, because determination is about putting in the work and not stopping until you get what you desire. Even when you get it, it’s very important to keep up the momentum so you can maintain your place at the top. You have to keep climbing until you reach heights you never thought existed before.
However tired we get, we need to keep building the blocks that will one day create the life we dream of. The life we can comfortably live. Honestly, speaking on some days, we don’t feel like doing anything while others don’t want to do anything at all. The reality is, nothing comes easy, and if we wait for special conditions to do what we have to do, then nothing special will ever happen.
Treating every day like its a special day is something I believe we should do because it is special. It is a chance for you to prove that anything is possible and that your path to greatness starts at the beginning of each day.
