The Big Leap

Dream venti! As the famous commercial song goes… “great things start from small beginnings… ” the first step to success is always the hardest. It sounds a cliché but it is true. Success is something we do not find anywhere, neither is it achieved overnight. Rather, it is chased, strived, and earned. Though sometimes we encounter a lot of predicaments in life, this for sure, contributes to the successful person we would become someday.

Successful persons did not reach their current positions overnight. They took the challenge and gave their best shot. When the challenges are unrelenting, the determination to succeed will spell a big difference. Even when life becomes tough, they were not deterred. They were relentless in their effort to succeed. They took every failure a stepping stone and a lesson learned in life. However, when it seems like there is no hope at all, it is best to rest for a while. Reflect, reconnect, recollect your dreams, and then continue. The struggles will keep on coming. Sometimes they even simultaneously come. Rest if you must, but never give up! There are a lot of people who took life’s challenges to the next level and succeeded. Take for example Many Paquiao. He is a well-known boxer, politician, TV personality, and a religious icon. He started as a boxer from a province of almost unknown origin. He strived quite hard in his trainings. This catapulted him to a wellknown boxer all over the world. A stepping stone to become a public servant. His struggles in life inspired many to toil and be patient. Baby steps that we take on daily will someday lead us looking back. Later on we realize the humongous leap we have made.
