"Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it" - Lou Holtz
Everybody has goals and dreams, but only few achieve them. Last week I blogged about confidence being a key ingredient for success: Essential Ingredient for Success. I've been in a funk myself the past two months and in thinking about how I'm going to get out of this and achieve the goals I have set I realized there are only two things I need: 1) hard work & 2) faith. Those two things have brought me through the darkest of tunnels.
The journey isn't always smooth, no matter how good you are and how hard you work. Those obstacles will come en route to your goals, the only uncertain thing is when. Too often people get discouraged by the obstacle and start to either lose faith in their goal and abilities or they decide it's too hard to get to the goal and give up on it or settle for something less...something easier.
When times are tough, when the obstacles seem to keep popping up after you've just overcome one, that's when you need to work your hardest and have your strongest faith. Without continuous hard work in the face of the difficult odds and faith that you will get through it to achieve your goals you will not get there.
I hope you remember this next time you're faced with obstacles that stand between you and your goals. Don't let up, don't lose faith. Work hard and have faith that you will get there and you will.
