Focus On The First Step

If you ask me if success in life is easy to come by, I'll simply tell you the obvious: NO!
But if you focus on the first step of whatever you want to achieve, the most difficult part would have been taken care of.

Here is an interesting story to buttress my point.
One day, I was at a camp meeting and I met this aspiring writer.
I asked him how his book was coming along. "I didn't really getting started… I'm not sure my stuff will be good enough…"

He was so insecure about his writing that he didn't even START writing anything.
It's hard to become good at something you don't practice.

I just explained to him that what really matters is taking the first step.
The first step is really all that matters. If you can be the man or woman who always takes the first step, you become a force of nature. That's a really counter-intuitive secret to success.

Every success I've had in my life was created because I took this first step. Even pursuing a university degree requires taking that first step.

Focus on the first step and everything will follow.

Have an amazing day!

KILLER OPPORTUNITY OF THE CENTURY Imagine it's 1976 and you're outside, going for a walk in your neighbourhood. As you walk, you pass the neighbour's house whose garage is open... Inside, they're tinkering with computers - and you greet them... "Hey Steve!" -  you say... and behind them is a handwritten sign that reads "Apple Computers"... Knowing what you do now, would you walk past them - or instead try to get involved with their company? Cryptocurrency is a similar story. Once "just a fad" - the cryptocurrency industry currently sits at a market cap of over 1 trillion dollars! ...and today, over 300 million people own crypto. Over the next few years, I'd guess that billions will own crypto - and it is still very much in its infancy. So, after hearing that story about Apple, do you... A) Walk past this enormous opportunity (and perhaps regret it later)... OR... B) Get involved now - before it's too late...? Listen... if you don...

The 10 Commandments Of A Great Marriage

One of the best ways to experience marital bliss is to clone successful marriages. In my many years of analyzing and gathering information about marriage and love relationships, I've noticed the consistent patterns that happy and successful marriage partners follow. They engage in weighty efforts to build strong bonds, take responsibility for bringing out the best in each other, and are quick to patch the holes in their relationship . These consistent patterns revolve around the fundamental principles that I call the 10 commandments of a great marriage. 1. YOU SHALL FORGIVE EACH OTHER'S FAULT AND LEARN TO SAY SORRY If there's anything you must learn early about relationship and marriage, it is to understand that love thrives on forgiveness. It's paramount to constantly forgive your spouse for their eccentricities and annoying habits, and also forgive yourself for any mistakes you make if you truly want to be happy in your marriage. The reaso...
