The Journey to Success: a True Visual

Hey Jeremy,

I am yet on my journey to success and the stumbling blocks that I've come across have ultimately pushed me more and more, in the direction that I needed to go in.

There have been several moments that I was certainly going in the wrong direction to obtain success, and what I've noticed is that the rough patches actually turned me form my direction better.

The twist and turns, roadblocks, and oh yes, people, have actually motivated me to go after that success that much more.

In the past, I was one of those that thought, all I had to do was "keep hoping" for my dream to happen and wait for my opportunity to present itself. I was very much fooled about the process though.

It takes effort, hard work, decision-making, and a lot of "elbow grease" to go after ones success. It takes persistence, self-motivation, and patience to be practiced daily to go after what you know is rightfully yours to have, in order for success to be obtained.

Anyone who was once like I was that thinks it's an easy road to success, is in for the disappointment of their life, literally. It doesn't just happen. It is approached, and it's something that we have to daily go after in order to obtain it.

Pure awesomeness bud! Loved this post! ;)

J - this was good stuff!

It's the truth my friend. We create this image in our minds of how things should go. And just because we create it, if things steer off track- we get frustrated and give up. I used to do that junk all the time.

But what I've come to learn is the only time I've truly accomplished anything worthwhile, I've been challenged in the process. I've been challenged having speed bumps and mazes placed before me.

But adversity comes to make sure that we really want what we're after. Because if we really know, then we're willing to allow the path to take its course - and we'll do the extra work to get there.

I Iove the image. It pointed the picture well!

Hi Jeremy,

I am new to your site.

Thank you for that two contrasting pictures of success. It does put people's perspective about success into place.

Success to me is the progressive realization of a worthy goal, as defined by Earl Nightingale. Loved that quote and live by it. Makes success so much easier to achieved on a daily basis.

For any form of success, I believe that we must possess the mindset to be always ready for obstacles . When they do come, our energies will be focused on how to overcome them.

Personally for me, I embrace obstacles. They are actually secrets to success because of the learning they force upon us. For example, my current journey on personal development blogging. I am not a tech gig. I faced lots of simple issues like setting up an Aweber account and so on. But I have found a way round it by asking around. Another piece of success in place.
