That
First Step to Massive Success
by Peter Murphy
Do
you want to know the key to beating procrastination
and achieving much more?
Let
me tell you how I discovered the secret to achieving
massive success...
I
had some work to do yesterday and I kept
putting it off. I thought to my self - I´ll
wait until later when I feel more alert and in
the right frame of mind to do it just right
Do
you ever do this?
Then
it hit me like a ton of bricks. If I
wait for the perfect moment I will be waiting
a very long time.With that in mind I just got
started. I took the pressure off and stopped insisting
that I create a perfect piece of work.
The
endless pursuit of perfection and the craving
for total and complete success at everything you
do is a trap.
A
dangerous trap.
Why?
Because
it will stop you from getting started.
And beginning is sometimes all you need to do
to ensure success.
When
you get the ball rolling, the gathering momentum
will keep you going.
Listen
to this...
Last
week - I read an interview with a world-class
marathon runner who has run some gruelling races
including ones where he ran a marathon a day each
day for a week or more at a time.
When
asked how he could take on such enormous
physical and mental challenges without feeling
overwhelmed he gave a simple answer.
He
said he never thinks about it in terms of running
a 26 mile race instead he focuses on taking one
step.
And
then another, and another...
Take
one step at a time.
Complete
it and then take on one more step. Do
this and you can achieve some spectacular results.
