DON'T WAIT FOR IT.


All our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them. -James Lane Allen
I once read the story of how marine merchants of those days use to wait at the harbour whenever they expect the arrival of their ships from the high seas. The practice was that the merchants would send the ships out to go and fetch treasures from far away while they wait at the dockside to receive them on arrival. Most times, because the sailors lacked the necessary passion and discretion of entrepreneurs, they often delayed pointlessly in bringing back the ships. After sometime, the merchants discovered that when  they go after the ships instead of waiting for them, the arrival time is faster, the anxiety is reduced and they had plenty of fun in the process. Hence this statement that has become a truism for all manner of success pursuits. "Don't wait for the ship to come, swim out to it."

How long have you been waiting for your own 'ship' to come? How long have you waited for your "Big break"? You have tarried patiently for long on a spot without gain when all you need to do is take a step of faith and courage to go after your dream. For some of us the step may be easy and simple, for some it may be tough and daring. The challenge however is to take it all the same.
Success is not to be  waited for... it is a thing to be achieved! Don't wait for it... roll up your sleeves today and do something definite to make it happen. You'll be glad you did!
