Positive, purposeful direction

Not every attempt brings the results you intend. Yet every desired result you are able to achieve comes from making an attempt.

The odds won’t be completely in your favor when you move forward. But the odds are entirely against you when you decline to take any positive action at all.

No matter what has happened in the past, no matter where you are in the present, one fact remains true. There’s always something you can learn, some new effort you can make, a particular path you can pursue toward a desirable result.

Today in a small way, or a more ambitious way, or perhaps even in a big way, you can attempt more. You can make the decision to move higher, and you can put that decision into action.

If today’s effort doesn’t work out, that’s okay. Because you can learn from it and make a more informed and experienced effort tomorrow.

Keep pushing yourself consistently in a positive, purposeful direction. Eventually you’ll work yourself to your intended destination.
