How I Stay Motivated pt 2/3

Imagine what if

I think most of us can picture ourselves lying at a cloudless beach with a pina colada, interrupting our sunbath only for the occasional coolings in the blue ocean and sporadically checking in on the regular returns of our passive incomes (plural of course) provided by our ridiculously vast assets. But can you actually? True capability of imagining a dream or creating a vision also means to come up with a -more or less- specific plan or some kind of a roadmap towards that dream. A plan that you trust will -upon execution- pave the way to your vision. So make sure you have a vision and you have a -specific- plan. Which brings us to the hard part: 

Relentless Faith 

The catch of course is the ‘believe’ part. There’s a famous quip in the US Marines Corp: ’Everybody wants to go to heaven, nobody wants to die.’ To truly believe in something will imply that you are willing to make the necessary sacrifice in your pursuit of the goal...in fact, to make any sacrifice necessary. Your belief will manifest in the work you put in to achieve your goals. It is easy to think, big goals demand big sacrifices, which intuitively sounds fair. If you believe there’s no such thing as shortcuts to success in life (I firmly do), then you’ll have to admit that the most successful people are the very most deserving people. I like to believe mankind is steadily moving towards a more meritocratic society...slowly maybe, but steadily nevertheless. If that holds true, chances of your actions being duly rewarded by society are improving by the day. If you follow some success stories of the past decade, you inevitably have to admit, there are some that would have been hard to imagine only more than a decade back. So make sure you have a deep and relentless faith in whatever you want to achieve!
