Substance of achievement
It is far better for you to earn something and not have it
than to have something and never earn it. When you've truly
earned something, there is a valuable and important part of
it that can never be taken away.<P>
To wish that all the treasures of life would simply and
easily be given to you is to wish for nothing of any real
value. It is in the effort, the discipline, the commitment
to reach it, that achievement yields true meaning.<P>
Dream the biggest, most spectacular, fulfilling and
meaningful dream that you can imagine. And know that the
moment you begin to earnestly and steadily work your way
toward it, the richness of that dream is yours to
experience.<P>
What you desire is not what you really desire. What you
really desire is to be the person you must become in order
to achieve it.<P>
What you really desire is to matter, to make a difference,
to add your own special essence and flavor to life. What
will bring you fulfillment is to create, express and bring
to life, in your own way, the unique beauty of your
spirit.<P>
Look past the mere trinkets and artifacts of achievement.
Focus on the substance of achievement that lives in the
effort, the passion, the commitment, and the persistence.<P>
There you'll find real and lasting value.<P>
