I stumbled upon something on the internet that was written by William Arthur Ward that I need to share with you since I know this can motivate you in achieving your dreams :)
A Winner’s Blueprint for Achievement
BELIEVE while others are doubting.
PLAN while others are playing.
STUDY while others are sleeping.
DECIDE while others are delaying.
PREPARE while others are daydreaming.
BEGIN while others are procrastinating.
WORK while others are wishing.
SAVE while others are wasting.
LISTEN while others are talking.
SMILE while others are frowning.
COMMEND while others are criticizing.
PERSIST while others are quitting.

"If you won't climb a mountain, you won't view the plain" - Anonymous or maybe the sea or lake :) If I was not determined enough to reach the top of this mountain and consider the things that I might experience on top, I would have already backed out on the first few steps below this mountain. Gladly, I did not easily give up or else, I'll regret not seeing the beauty of nature on top. On the other hand, it's never an easy journey to climb this mountain. There were so many risks. I've learned so many things during this climb to the top but here are the top 3 lessons that I think I have to share with you and I hope you would find these useful in your life:
1.) You can't do everything alone or maybe you can but it will be hard. Having a friend or anyone can help you reach the top with a slight ease. They can guide you and secure you along the way.
2.) One step at a time. You don't need to hurry. You're not in a race. You have to take each step seriously to avoid slipping a step and ruining everything.
3.) Believe. Keep on thinking about your goals. Have faith that you'll achieve it and most of all, have a big faith in God. God is the only one who will guide you, motivate you, and take you to your dreams when no one else is around.
I hope you'll get something from my realizations. Maybe you could share your realizations to me, too. I'm pretty sure I'll find them useful in my life :)
