There are innumerable books and articles telling you can have all that you desire. You just need to set you mind, heart and energy to the task of achieving your goals. There is more truth to all of this than we realize. The barrier is a lack of personal discipline, consistency, and understanding of true costs.
There is real joy in setting a difficult goal like learning a foreign language. We can get frustrated when we realize we can’t learn the language in a few days. Most throw up their hands too quickly. Those who are persistent find that something wonderful happens when they stick with it. The language begins slowly to become second nature. In time, we find wonderful joy in communicating in the foreign language and this motivates us further.
Be careful in what you desire. In the end, we can accomplish great things. The question is what to focus on. What is it that you want to be able to say to yourself just before you pass along?
