Sacrifices are essential to achieving success. Sacrificing meaningless tasks frees up energy, time and focus which allows you to channel them to your goal.

Imagination is intelligence having fun. Action is imagination working hard. Failure is action learning from experience. Success is failure always steering itself back on track towards the goal.

Setting a goal is hard. Taking the first step is harder. Keeping to the goal is the hardest. Being aimless is easy. Doing whatever you like is easier. Drifting about from day to day is the easiest.

Knowing the outcome is important because it empowers you to take action.

Waking up, knowing that today is a fresh start again and propelling yourself to stick to your goal, is a great achievement.

Having the will to succeed is one part, translating thoughts into action is another part and of course a drizzle of luck.
