No matter what anyone thinks, he cannot get success by just wishing for it, but it is a result of taking the right steps and doing it rightly and in the right time. If you want to make progress even in the physical, you cannot do it while sitting down but by taking steps. So you see, when it comes to success, there are things that you need to do to make you succeed. It is not the dream nor the size of it that determines your success but the actions you have put in towards the pursuit of your dreams.

Having a destination in mind is one thing, but taking up the journey is the only way you can arrive at the destination. Dreams will not get fulfilled until they are made to do so by actions. Success requires obvious steps to be taken and these steps should not be a once-and-for-all step but the steps you take continuously even against all odds. No matter the distance of your destination, you must start first before you can get to it. Without making the attempt to start, then it is almost impossible to arrive at the destination. This is just to remind you that the journey that will take many days and many kilometres to be complete will definitely start with a step.

When someone wants to become a medical doctor for example, he cannot achieve that by wishing for it but by going through the medical school and passing the required exams. Right in the medical school, he will meet challenges and all, but because he has kept his mind fixed on the end-result, he will give it all it takes. If, at a point, he drops out of medical school, he will miss out of the dream of becoming a medical doctor and the efforts he had put in initially would be wasted. So you see, actions and steps should be continuous until success is achieved. And even after that particular success is achieved, it does not mean that the person should be dormant, otherwise the success might become obsolete with time, so there is a need to keep working and taking steps to improve on your successes and to get better in order to remain relevant.

When taking the steps towards success, you have to be determined to succeed and you need to have the result in your mind. Then the things you should remove from you are the thoughts of giving up and the thoughts of fear. Fear alone has the ability to limit one's step and keep one on the same spot. This is why you should not allow the fear of failing at the attempt to keep you from trying. Just know that even if you try and fail, it is still a plus to you because you have taken steps and of course, you have learnt some lessons.

It is worthy to note that it is far better to try something even if you do not get it right the first time than to remain dormant without trying. At least when you have tried out the thing and when you have taken the steps, you would get experiences and learn vital lessons that will be of great assistance when you are trying again. More so, you will not know if you will succeed at a step or not until you have taken that particular step. The truth is that every step you take in relation to your dreams draws you closer to achieving the dream, so keep taking steps.

In the course of taken the steps towards success, you will definitely meet challenges but you should not fret because they are part of the proofs that you are making reasonable progress. You cannot stop the challenges but you can choose to keep taking steps towards your goals until you achieve success. When a sailor is sailing, he will meet the boisterous waters but it will not make him to turn back and go home, rather he will keep directing his sail and that is only how he will arrive at his destination. In the same way, in life, when you have a dream or a goal, you need to give it all it takes and then remove any thought of giving up.

> Take the initial step

One thing to understand about the initial step is that it is usually the hardest step but once it is done, then other steps will become easier. Even in the natural, to get an object to move, you will require a stronger force to overcome inertia but when it is overcome, it becomes easier to sustain the motion. So as you take the first step towards your goal, even if it seems like it is difficult and challenging, keep at it because it is one of the most vital steps towards the achievement of your goal.
