When I was young, we had a famous saying, a very similar to “Walk and you shall reach.” The keyword in this statement is “walk”. It simply means, if you don’t walk, you won’t get anywhere. I see people nowadays who have this belief that all they need to do is to show up and success will just happen to them. I don’t want to burst anybody’s bubble, but I do.
I was listening to John Maxwell, and later I bought his book, called “15 Invaluable Laws of Growth”. In this book he’s talking about number one law responsible for any kind of success, whether financial, business, spiritual or personal. That is the Law of Intentionality. That law says that we don’t grow automatically. We have to be intentional about it. We have to make an effort to grow. There’s no motivation that will make you or me a success. We just have to walk the Path, no matter how motivated or down we feel. And trust me, I’ve experienced both productive and destructive sides of this law. And when people ask me about how they can stay motivated, the answer is, stop trying. Motivation won’t do much, but walking will. All we need is a clear defined goal and strong enough reason to walk.
I will be talking more about that. So stay tuned! In the meantime,
