What you make it
You can speculate and guess and theorize and envision, and
all those things have their place. Yet you will not know for
sure what you can and cannot do until you step forward and
make the effort.
There are many things that might go wrong, and many
obstacles you likely did not anticipate. Yet you must not
allow the possibility of those problems to stop you before
you even get started.
When something comes up that you didn't plan for, you can
learn from it and make adjustments. When a difficult
challenge arises, that challenge brings with it the
opportunity for even greater value when you choose to
persevere.
Everything that is easy and guaranteed to succeed has
already been done. Real accomplishment comes from doing the
things that no one else thinks you can do.
Lift your eyes up and see the objective at the end of the
path. Then lift your feet up, one after the other, and take
the first few steps along that path.
Accomplishment is not what is reasonable or practical or
certain or without controversy. Accomplishment is precisely
what you decide to make it.
