Any dream or goal worth having takes time. The steps toward your goals may seem long and sometimes it may seem like “nothing is happening”. Most often, each step won’t have a big cash out or reward right away, but you have to take each step anyways.

When it feels like “nothing is happening”, use your imagination to stay motivated. Dream about what it will be like when you do lose the 50 pounds, get a new client, or find an awesome new job. Delayed gratification helps you build patience and gratitude toward the thing you are working for. Being patient with the process is a lesson all on its own. It took discipline and motivation for you realize that you needed to change. You had to stop listening to the naysayers, get rid of limiting beliefs, and find great people that you could model.

Change is not easy, but it is addicting. Once you discover that you can change one thing in your life, you start to wonder – what else can I change? You feel empowered. The thing is to keep on moving. People are great at starting, but many get lost in the steps because there is no instant gratification in achieving something worth having! Even though the process can be challenging, the lessons you will have learned about yourself are powerful and long lasting.

Final Thoughts: Be fearless & confident. Keep moving, keep trying, and keep growing. You are not alone. Read this the next time “nothing is happening!”
