Someone once said to me, "You don't have to be great to start, but you do have to START to be GREAT!" When people think about becoming great at something, sometimes the road to get there isn't clear and it may appear so far away, it may become unattainable in their mind and they may never even get started. But, the truth is, how you eat an elephant is how you become great. If you're saying to yourself, what are you talking about Trav?!, I'm glad you asked... Personally, I'm vegan and don't eat elephants, but as the saying goes, "how do you eat an elephant?" "One bite at a time." Basically, this simply means you must do everything one step at a time. If you continue to take one step at a time, eventually, you will reach your goal. GREATNESS is the same way. GREATNESS happens one step at a time. Success is not the end goal, success is taking consistent steps closer toward your goals, one step at a time, over and over and over and over. Step by step you become successful because you're closer to your goal. Once you get to your ultimate goal, you would have already achieved massive success due to those little successes compiled and compounded over time.
So START! In order to be great, you just have to start—then stay consistent and everything will come to you that you need to know to get to your ultimate goal. But nothing will come to you if you don't start!
GO START! And Go Be Great!
