People say taking the first step is the hardest – and sometimes that is true. However, it is common for us to take one step and then relax a bit too much because we believe that the rest of the process should be relatively ‘easy’. Not so. Our impatience to get to the goal without laying important foundations of discipline and behaviour adaptation can often rob us of the everyday willpower to continue those steps and processes that build us into people who will appreciate and maintain those rewards and goals. It is demonstrable in the case of many lottery winners – they instantly get to a financial goal, but have none of the discipline and appreciation of earning that money, so they often find themselves in similar states of financial status within 6 months of their win. So appreciate, trust and persevere with the journey – it is the most important part.
