Decades ago, the Wright
brothers (Orville and Wilbur) worked together to invent the first airplane
which was made up of frames of metallic bars. Today, pictures of that first
airplane do not look attractive in any way. Ask why and you will get the answer
to be “improvement”. Today’s airplane is really different from the model
invented initially and I believe if the first inventors are resurrected from
the grave today to pilot today’s airplane, they might ask for some time to
learn about it.
Why? It is because
there were series of improvements and modifications on what was first developed
and each attempt to modify the structure earns the machine more comfort. Improvement is geared towards attaining
excellence. It clearly tells us that a dream is not achieved overnight. You keep
improving on upon what you dream about and work out the improvements with
passion till the final product is ready to be celebrated with excellence.
If you dream about writing
a book, believe it or not, you just don’t have it published on the following
day. You need to draft, edit, re-edit, type… all these are meant and geared
towards improving what you envision. Thus maybe you write one chapter per week
or less and once committed, you will have the true version of your dream book.
As an aspiring
achiever, set goals for yourself and every single step you take should shape
your dream into its divine format! Take today as another day to add another block
to the castle you envision!
“Repetition of the same thought or
personal action develops into a habit when repeated frequently enough becomes an
automatic reflex”- Norman Vincent Peale
