What Keeps You Going?

If you have been in business for a while, then you know that at times the going gets though. What keeps you going? When you feel discouraged and unable to move another step? Yet you know you cannot stop for if you do you will be trampled down.
What keeps you going? When your heart has been broken one more time and you tell yourself everyone is right; you are probably just a dreamer who takes his wishes for reality. What makes you take that one more step and then the next?
Success is not easy, the road is bumpy. It’s amazing how dark it feels sometimes in the middle of a perfect summer day. It’s incredible how lonely it is even when surrounded by all our loved ones. The success road is a long and difficult one.
Yet you ask yourself; what else is there? What keeps you going? I don’t about you but for me, there is no alternative. Success is not a goal, it is the way I live my life. Success is not a dream it is how I define myself.
What else is there but to be successful? I know, many settle and give up because they believe it is easier that way. Yes being successful is not easy. But I also know why I have never considered giving up.
It is a lot easier to be successful than it is to fail. Once you have given up, you have all the rest of your life to live a life that you call mediocre. You see, once you embarked on the journey to become a better person, you agreed that it was unacceptable to live otherwise.
To give up without achieving that standard mean you will have to justify to yourself every single day of the rest of your life why it is acceptable to live a life less than what you can and deserve. You will have to explain to yourself for the rest of your life why it is ok to be a failure.
And that is very hard. So hard that no matter how hard it seems today to take another step into this dark and lonely world toward success, I will do it anyway. And I hope you to take it with me. For the road less travel if you and I the only road to travel.
