Go for it

It will take a long time before you make any headway. So the sooner you get started, the better.

You must expend great effort, again and again, to move forward. So go ahead and get to work.

What you achieve will be worth what you pay. So be eager to pay, and to pay again.

Your muscles will grow weary, and they’ll also become stronger. Your spirit, commitment, and persistence will be tested, and will survive the test in even better shape than before.

Choose well a meaningful, valuable destination. Then invest your energy and determination, moment by moment, month after month, in getting there.

Merely sitting still, withering away, is not an option. So go for it, with all you have, and bring to life the unique greatness that is yours to create.

— Ralph Marston
