It is possible

It is possible, there is a way. Dwell on it, expand it, fill in all the details, and get it done.

Start with a clear and explicit goal in mind. Envision your way backwards, step by step from that goal to where you are now.

Make an honest assessment of the skills, tools, connections and resources you have to work with. Do the work to match whatever is available with what you intend to accomplish.

Throw out any expectation of getting something for nothing, of it being quick and easy. On the contrary, relish the concept of stepping forward and doing the difficult work to create genuine value.

Then get started and refuse to look back. Deal with the anticipated challenges and the ones you didn’t anticipate, with grace and eager perseverance.

It is possible, and you can absolutely transform what is possible into what is real. Begin right now and make it happen.

— Ralph Marston
