"A vision without
action is an
illusion. An action without vision is confusion!" - Willie Jollie
There are many of us out there that are trying to make something of ourselves and our lives. Although everybody has a different meaning of success, all of us have the same goal of finding it. While some of us are able to find success, the majority of us struggle to find our way.
Success, in any form, is a process. This process, like any other, has steps and requires planning. Below is a five step process that I like to use to accomplish my little milestones. I hope it will help you with yours!
1. Desire. Desire comes to us in many forms. We all desire to want something, do something, and be something. Whatever your desire is, make it known! Tell yourself. Tell someone. Write it down. Once it is out in the open, there's no going back!
2. Determination. Once you know what your desire is, you need to know how much you want it. Ask yourself, what are you willing to do or give up for that desire?
3. Dedication. Dedication means staying true to the desire no matter what roadblocks you encounter along the way. Many of us, myself included, tend to go through a "3 minute phase desire." We want something really bad, make a big deal out of it, and then give up when the going gets tough. Dedication means you can't give up no matter what happens, when it happens, or where it happens. Stick to your desire and walk around those roadblocks if you encounter one. Break down those walls; climb those hills; jump those puddles; whatever it takes!
4. Discipline. Discipline goes hand in hand with determination. However, the difference is how long that determination is going to last. You can be determined but not reach success if you give up half way. Discipline is how much you are willing to give up over a long period of time.
5. Destination. Your goal and final result.
Out of those five D's, dedication and discipline are the two most important. You can have a desire and be determined but never reach your destination if dedication and discipline are missing. This is because desire and determination are mental processes, merely thoughts. Dedication and discipline are physical processes, or actions. Dedication and determination allows you convert ideas into actions. Only through dedication and determination will you be able to reach your destination.
If you have a desire, stick to it no matter what and you will reach your destination!
