The Edge

5 Jun

We can accomplish anything we really want in our lives. If we have sufficient desire and are determined to succeed, nothing can keep us from doing anything. But some things take a lot of time and require many steps before we reach the goal. It can be hard to continually press forward, and if the road is long, we may only be able to focus on the next step ahead. Sometimes we don’t know exactly how many more we’ll have to take before we reach the goal, and if we can’t see the end, may begin to doubt we can make it. We may feel that despite all our efforts we are no closer today than we were at the beginning. At times like that, we can stop, turn around and look back at how far we’ve already traveled. We may be amazed that we’ve come much further than we thought and gain strength from what we’ve already accomplished. Even if we can’t see the goal just ahead, we may be on the very edge of success and only steps away from the destination. We don’t know what’s around the next turn and may be surprised to see we have arrived and reached the goal. Our lives are ours to design and we can change our minds about anything at any time. If we don’t want to continue forward, we don’t have to. We can let go of the goal and move onto something else, and choose to quit, but stopping will only guarantee we will not prevail. We can’t move forward and stand still at the same time. Every goal is possible and if we’re determined to succeed, we will win. It’s all up to us. We can go the very edge of triumph and walk away, or continue forward and gain the prize. Nothing is out of reach if we’re willing to do what it will take to get it. There isn’t anything that’s too far away or too difficult for us to achieve. We can have the lives we desire and make all our dreams come true.

Once we’ve decided on a goal and are determined to make it ours, we can begin the journey. We know what we want and are ready to do what it takes to achieve it. But as time passes and we overcome one obstacle after another, we may begin to waver. If the road is harder than we imagined at the beginning and longer than we expected, we may begin to doubt we can succeed. If the goal requires more determination and commitment than we possess, we may falter. We must decide if we really want to reach it, and if we do, press forward with confidence and conviction.

They say the darkest hour is just before dawn. When we’re in the midst of pushing forward and seriously focused on the next step ahead, we may not notice how close we are to success. We may be at the very edge of realizing our goal before we look up and see it there. Even the longest, most daunting journeys reach conclusion. We are powerful and strong enough to complete any journey before us and every goal is possible. There is nothing we can’t do and we will find great success and happiness.

Today if you’re pushing through a long, and difficult road trying to get to a goal you are determined to reach, be confident. Everything is waiting for you and all your dreams are ready. Keep walking forward. Nothing can keep you from success. You will prevail and find great satisfaction and happiness.

Paying Attention

4 Jun

There’s a lot going on around us all the time. There are people constantly coming in and going out of our lives, and endless things to grab our attention and distract us. It’s easy to get caught up in the action and lose track of what we’re doing or where we’re headed. People and things interrupt us, others ask questions or need our input, and we may get sidetracked until we forget where we were. There’s no way to keep the world out of our lives completely, and as we push ahead if there’s a lot going on, our own personal progress may get stalled. We might get involved in what others are doing, or set our goals aside so we can help with something specific. It’s good to interact with those around us and we learn a lot by being part of other people’s lives. But the destinations we want to reach are important and we can carefully and judiciously monitor our time so that while we’re sharing it with others, we still have enough to do what we want for ourselves. By paying attention to our own personal needs as well as those around us, we’ll find great success and satisfaction. We can’t do everything at the same time, but we can plan effectively to make sure what’s most important gets our energy and focus. Our lives are ours to design and every decision we make determines what we’ll accomplish and where we’ll go. If we keep our eyes on the goals ahead, even if we step away for a time, we’ll reach them. Every destination is possible. We can plan our time effectively, prioritize what’s most important, and succeed. Nothing is too complex for us to manage, and with patience and wisdom we can make every dream a reality.

When we’re struggling to find our way forward, and there are many details we need to work out, the distractions around us may become invasive and irritating. If there’s a lot of noise and activity, it can be hard to focus on what we’re doing. We’re never frozen in place, and if where we are isn’t working, we can move to a location that is more amenable and helpful for us. Instead of complaining, we can take action. We’re always in control of our lives and can do what is needed to achieve our goals.

Nobody lives in Nirvana and we all suffer from time to time. As we’re pushing ahead, we may notice someone near us having a problem. Our goals are important but offering to help when needed won’t prevent us from reaching success. We develop great compassion and understanding as we assist others. Our lives are enriched and we understand our part in the big picture. We’re all more connected than we may realize and reaching out to help someone else will always embellish us and move us forward.

Today decide how you want to proceed and pay attention to what’s going on around you. You can focus on the goals you want to achieve and actively move forward, or set your project aside and work with others for now. Everything you want to accomplish is possible and with planning and determination you can go anywhere and do anything. Be in control and step ahead with confidence and courage. Every dream is possible and you will make them yours.
