Success in your own life will always begin with you. This may seem pretty obvious, but there is a surprising number of people out there who are waiting for someone else to “get them started.”
We would all like a bit of help in life, there is no doubt about that. But you can’t expect help when you aren’t helping yourself.
No matter what excuses you think you might have, the only real thing stopping you from taking the next step on your journey is you.
That’s why you can’t wait for someone else or something else to help you get started. Don’t wait for the feeling of motivation or for some burst of excitement to get your feet moving.
The truth is, in a year from now, you’ll wish you started today if you haven’t already started. And the only way to get closer to your goals is to take action promptly; to take one step at a time, one after the other.
The only person who can push you on your road to success, day in and out, is you. It begins with you. Don’t wait for someone else to push you. Don’t wait for some holy signal to green-light you.
You are the captain of your ship. If you don’t steer it where you want it to go, no one will do that for you.
Take control of your success, and do it today.
