Short cuts
Make long delays.
J.R.R. Tolkien
The Fellowship of the Ring

​It is a very simple formula.

Do the work.

Put in the time.

Learn.

Apply.

And eventually, you will achieve your goals.

If you haven’t yet achieved your goals, work harder, put in more time, be smarter, and apply better.

Become wiser and more efficient with each passing day.

In “The Divine Comedy,” Dante wrote,

“The path to paradise begins in hell.”

Whenever you find yourself in a position of reflection of why you haven’t yet met your goals, the corrective action to take will be simple.

Get back to work.

Work harder.

Work smarter.

Put in more time.

Learn from your mistakes and failures.

Apply what you learned.

And then it won’t be if, but only a matter of time before you succeed.
