Closer Than You Think
Someone has hit the wall. They have worked hard, made the necessary sacrifices, followed their heart and yet the goal seems so far away. Perhaps there has been a set back that has caused one to question their ability, purpose, or destiny. The people who kept saying no, not your time, maybe later seem to have the final word. All that may be true BUT.......
You are closer than you think.
It is the time where all else seems to be against your effort that you should realize just how close you are. You have done the heavy lifting, made the effort, and positioned yourself to reap the rewards of the effort. Yes, you are closer than you think. There is simply one last burst of action that is required to get you where you want and one last bit of resistance designed to test your motivation and desire. What you are currently dealing with speaks more to your willingness to continue in spite of what seems to be lined up against you. There will a moment in the near future where you will receive your break. Something will line up in your favor that will make your current frustration a distant memory.
You are closer than you think.
Stay Focused On Your Why
Confront Your Fear
Remain Engaged
Stay Encouraged
Distractions are going to happen. Competing factors and attractive alternatives will come in an effort to divert your full focus. The key is to remain on board with what it is that you are trying to complete. There are those moments when we will question why we continue. It is so easy to quit but the critical moment is when you stay the course and continue to press towards your goal. Some of the most awesome things happen on the other side of our difficulty. If we quit now, we will never see the most inspiring finishes.
Remember This: You may not see the finish line presently because you are on top of it!! Stay encouraged and most importantly press forward over the finish line of your desire!!
To Your Success!!

7yThanks Chris for the great article!
Flowers are Nature's Laughter
7yChris, thank you. This brought me to tears, being words that all entrepreneurs need to hear. It felt like a hug to read it. I will place these great words of encouragement beside my mantra, which mirrors your sentiments. Thank you again. "Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favour all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his way. Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it"! Murray(Gothe couplet)
This is so good!!!
