It turns out that there is a self-help guide in the world on Willpower training and methods for achieving goals. And after all, how artlessly a simple movement from the current location to the next visible landmark turns out. Just one small step and then another…
“Boris Polevoy’s “The Tale of a Real Man” shows the process of fighting and taming the only opponent everyone regularly encounters – themselves.
Every day we face numerous obstacles that, together, block the way forward with their bulk, forcing us to get bogged down in the routine of business and despair of moving forward.
But the number of completed tasks, steps taken, tasks solved, connections established, topics studied, invariably turns into a qualitative change in the surrounding life, and everything around lends itself to the will of a person who always moves forward.
Do not forget about the quality of each step
How easy it is to take steps that are wrong in nature. They promise momentary joys, beckon and attract to themselves, steadily lead them astray, and weaken the resolve of each subsequent action.
The significance of the original ideas melts away in the abundance of what is happening around… time passes… and the planned landmarks for the next step, which are so close, which you can reach with your hand if you make a little effort, remain at a distance.
And if at first they continue to remind you with their presence that everything is still ahead, then fading in the flow of time, they turn into impossible dreams.
Decide at each step who you want to become…Steps that resound with their meaning and significance for the realization of ideas have a completely different property. They require diligence, attention and concentration, exertion of strength and precision of execution.
They do not promise quick satisfaction, but as they are implemented, they begin to bring joy of a completely different kind.
The constancy of steps towards the realization of one’s plans evokes in a person the power to realize his plans. The very minor changes he makes day by day, imperceptible and insignificant, each in itself, together they build a person’s Path and shape his personality.
What will be your next step?
