The key to success is not simply starting something, it is in not stopping until the goal has been accomplished. In fact, the key to success may lie in never stopping. There are always new things to do, and new levels of success to achieve. Whenever there is nothing to strive for, striving will cease. If you do not have anything to live for, you will soon find yourself among the dead and the dying.
One person finishes their college degree in four years, while another took sixteen years. With the diploma as their goal, both kept striving until the diploma was secured. Sometimes setbacks may cause a delay, but success will never be denied to the one who refuses to quit. Sometimes we need help, encouragement, or a push in order to gain momentum. Sometimes we need to be pulled towards our destination by visions of where we are going.
Our goals pull us, and our discipline pushes us towards success. If there is a goal, purpose, or mission to pull us, and discipline to push us, we will always be on the track to success. Sometimes you may need to mark time, run in place, or rest, but whatever you do, keep stepping. Step out, step up, or step off when needed, but keep stepping.
