All great achievements require time

I received this little bit of advice today and wanted to pass it along. It applies to life in so many ways - building a business, managing a family, developing a marriage, any "achievement". Someone once told me that any success worth achieving requires work and will be painful at times. When you think about it, life's greatest achievements are by far the most work, but worth every ounce of it!

To achieve maximum success accept that progress
is made one step at a time.

Every big accomplishment is a series
of little accomplishments.

A building is built one brick at a time.
Foot ball games are won one play at a time.

Success is always the sum of small efforts,
repeated day in and day out.

No great thing is created suddenly
any more then a bunch of grapes
or an orange miraculously appears.

If you want an orange, you must give it time.
There must be time for it to blossom, bear fruit,
then ripen.

That which grows fast, withers as rapidly.
That which grow slowly, endures.

You walk over the highest mountain
one step at a time.

  1. We're in the same mode - I've been chanting to myself "Discipline. Focus. Action." The quote I came upon today is:

    "Success is 1% inspiration, 99% perspiration" - Thomas Edison

    All that being said, have a great Thanksgiving and get lots of R & R!
