Find the next step, find the next positive step... that is your goal and nothing else other than that. You can think about success all day long, you can create the most detailed plan, you can dream about it, talk about it but if you're not willing to take the next step then you're just setting yourself up for failure, an epic FAIL!.
THE NEXT STEP IS THE ONLY GOAL. Focus on the next step and the next one and the next one. That is what it is all about. The goal is to keep the process running and running, even if there are no results, even if there is no money entering in your pocket yet... the goal is to keep the fire burning and the river flowing. It is an endless cycle or recycling the process, processing the process. Because even if you're already successful... you still need to focus on the next step or else you will lose all of your money and status.
Because if you focus on becoming successful... what will happen is this... you will think about it, do a little effort or maybe work hard for a few days then you will immediately ask for success right away. And if you see that nothing right is happening or you can't see any significant improvement... you will become depressed, you will be unmotivated and the there is a big chance that you will quit. That's what happen to most people who are trying to become successful... they always focus on the success and when they can't get it on their desired time frame... they will feel bad and just quit.
Focus on the next step and the next one and the next one. Success will come to you little by little. Just try to improve one day at a time. After all, you need to take massive actions in order to become successful. So if you're just focused on becoming successful... you will just think about having money, houses, fame or recognition. You will never think about taking actions anymore, and if you can't have those things that you want... you will feel bad, you will even make excuses why you can't get those things, the work ethic for becoming successful is not developing in your system.
DON'T EXPECT FOR RESULTS. It will come, the results will come in the right time if you keep working and working again and again. It sounds frustrating, it sounds boring and hard but you have to deal with it if you really want to become successful. You can look for the results but just for a few times, look for it if you really work hard for so long, let's say one month or more... once you work with that kind of time frame then look for the results but don't expect too much. If you don't see any improvement... go back to you work right away and work harder. That is the best way to become successful in life... work hard, look for the results then go back working again. Even if the results and improvement were big... forget it and keep working right away, remember that the goal is to execute the next step again and again.
Expecting for the results creates disappointments, it is better to just focus on the progress and keep making small momentum every now and then.
Focusing on the next step and making it as your only goal will make life easier for you. You will enjoy the process even more because you feel successful already while take small steps one day at a time. And the truth is you're already successful, you will just keep taking actions and wait for the right time, wait for the harvesting time when you will get the fruits of your labor.
You have to realize that reaching the finish line is not something that will give you a fixed happiness. You will still face a lot of challenges once you become successful, you still need to do a lot of work or else you will be out of balance. You still need to keep moving to avoid being bored and rusty. Work is part of our lives, we need to work everyday to avoid going crazy. People who just want to party everyday, do vacation and live like a king are the people who are lost, they are looking for something but they don't know what it is.
Once you experience a lavish lifestyle, once you have a lot of money... you still need a little pain, you still need to challenge yourself a little bit so you will avoid boredom.
PROCESSING A PROCESS IS HAPPINESS. Life is a process, life is a journey. I am not a big fan of this quote before because I want fast results, I want overnight success but then I realize that it is really not the destination that will give you happiness, it is the journey. I become successful at one point in my life when I bought my first car, I thought I was the man back then but then I found out that even if you have a lot of money, even if you become successful... problems will still visit you in your house, it will knock on your door and if you don't think that it's part of your life... you will freak out.
Just focus on the next step and that's it. If you have a problem, don't focus on solving it fast rather focus on the first step of solving it then focus on the next one and the next one. You can't erase a single problem in just a matter of seconds, you have to deal with it and do the necessary steps until it is gone.
So what is the next step that you have to do? what is it? is it saying sorry to your wife? is it looking for a job? is it building a resume? is it just walking outside? focus on it and do it, you will feel a little successful after doing it, your worries will diminish a little bit, you will have a little fun. Do it over and over again and you will experience a real happiness.
