Closer than before?

Posted 10-28-2009 at 08:07 PM by Sandra Bostwick
Somehow, I can't believe that there are any heights that can't be scaled by a man who knows the secrets of making dreams come true. This special secret, it seems to me, can be summarized in four Cs. They are curiosity, confidence, courage, and constancy, and the greatest of all is confidence. When you believe in a thing, believe in it all the way, implicitly and unquestionably.
Walt Disney


...

Have you ever come in contact with someone who has managed to hit a bullseye? If you happen to look at the picture after they've hit it, it seems pretty quick and easy. You might even thing "Well, that was so simple, I could do it myself!"

The truth about hitting most targets, though, is that it usually takes a whole lot of practice, preparation, and misses.

That's how it is with success.

Today I had an interesting conversation with someone who has managed to hit a target and land something pretty special. Having just met the person, it was easy to lose awareness of the long road that must have been taken to get there.

More than one of the blog reader has commented on not having enough time, money, or resources to keep up with a project. Mind you, more than one is alot, by percentage, considering how many are commenting here!

I know there have been moments when I've wondered if I have what it takes with one project or another.

But when I look at most success stories from the beginning, I see a long line of failed attempts, rejection, near misses, dreadful mistakes, close-but-no-cigar, more failure, almost there, then BULLSEYE!

I think I'm going to take some time to consider that I just HAVE to be closer to my goals because I just keep plodding along.

That's all I have for today.

And I am one day closer to blogging every day!

Carry on!

    Thanks! As someone who often runs in the wrong direction for miles before figuring it out, that is GREAT feedback!

    So many failed attempts. Each one creating new fears. Strength and love will wash away those fears. I may not like the way things look right now, but as long as those who love us are around that constant strength will carry us through.

    So true! And judging from your photos, your two princesses and the Queen are all you'll ever really need!

    But for those who may have learned that the ones they love are, for one reason or another, not supporting new growth, keep looking for people to "grow into."

    I'm one who believes that there should be no conditions on strength!

    Keep going with or without a job, with or without a home. Even those who are in poor health can find something else to put faith in. Just keep going!
