You Can Do It

Achieving your goals is hard work.  It is.  There are no shortcuts to working hard.  Shortcuts are wrong paths that lead you having to start all over again.

But the thing is you don’t have to take any shortcuts, because you are fully capable of I doing absolutely anything in this world.

Don’t believe me?  Take Thomas Edison. Most notably known for creating what we now know as the light bulb (actually he just improved the design so it could be used in homes), he also started General Electric, invented the phonograph, the alkaline battery, a generator, fuel cells, and improved tons of other devices.  He was also whipped by his father at the age of 6 in public for accidently starting a fire, his teacher said he was one of the stupidest boys he knew, he went deaf in life, his wife died, and he was fired from working on the railroad.

From all common perceptions he had everything against him.

But he persevered, he continued to invent, continued to improve designs, and our lives today are still affected by his inventions.

None of us grow up in the best of conditions, none of us has everything handed to us on a silver platter.

Work hard, avoid the shortcuts, and you will do anything you determine to.
