It takes one step to start, and another step to keep going.

One step to the right path, repeated, will lead you to your goals.

You have been going through a difficult time for a while, and you haven't got the slightest clue as to how to get out of your situation.

It seems as though there is no hope of finding a solution to your problems. And if a solution exists, it feels beyond your reach—physically, mentally, or financially.

That is why it greatly affects you, emotionally.

Some people seem to know the secret to having a happy, meaningful, successful, and fulfilling life, whilst most tend to strive and work their minds and bodies almost without rest to their wits' end, and yet, seem to only end up with an unfulfilled and dissatisfying life.

"Why?"

A question we all ask, and would ask at some point.

"What did those people have that I don't?..."

"What do they know that I don't?..."

Why are some people successful, and a lot of people aren't?

Because of goals, and dedication to achieve those goals.

A person with a goal, and a dedication to achieve that goal is bound to succeed. It is an unbreakable and infallible law of nature.

Suppose you have a goal to start your own business. In alignment with that goal must come a dedication to reach it.

To do that, you must first accept a simple truth.

The truth of change.

This truth is one of the most valuable pieces of knowledge that one will ever be able to learn to reach your goal and succeed.

Accepting change not only in your surroundings, but also accepting change in your ideas, ideology, product or service, and yourself.

The definition of success in the words of Sir Earl Nightingale: "Success is the progressive realization of a worthy ideal."

It means that you need to realize if the thing that you are doing is worth the time and effort that you're putting forth, and if not, then change.

Tailor what you are doing to your new realization.

A successful man is far from who he was when he was just conceiving his goals.

Start now. All it takes is that one step to start, and another step to keep going.
