Thread: Building off of little successes

Most of us over the age of 18 have a driver's license, graduated from high school, got our first job and challenged ourselves or have been presented with challenges. These challenges, yet not really comfortable, have pushed us to being better, more suited, individuals as we grew up. As we got older the challenges got bigger and we moved up the ladder, learning how to handle the stress involved in making life work.

It only makes sense, you can't deal with a big challenge until you've handled smaller ones. You can't achieve at a large scale until you first accomplish at a small scale.

I find that thinking back to times when I accomplished something far out of my comfort zone, helps me take on other tasks. When I put myself into that same mindset, I'm able to feed off of my other successes and move forward with the confidence needed. Because now, I know I can do it, since I have other accomplishments of similar diffeculty.

Don't worry about being the next Donald Trump, until you've first rented your own aptpartment, or purchased your first car, or even greater...graduated from college. Start a business before you replace your income, replace your income before getting rich. Take it in steps.

nice post. A journey begins with just a single step

I like this - sometimes people are in a huge rush and when they don't see big success right away, they give up. While we certainly don't want to wait 40+ years, there isn't any reason to pressure yourself to succeed in only a few months! As they say, Rome wasn't built in a day.
