 It takes twenty years to become an overnight success.

- Eddie Cantor
Setting A Plan in Motion

Short of winning the lottery, the idea of coming into wealth or power overnight is nearly impossible. Not that it is impossible to be successful, but it involves a lot of hard work, time, overcoming of obstacles, and dedication to achieve. You can't expect success to just fall into your lap. Often, you have to pour time and tears into reaching it. Set your goals, formulate a plan for getting from point A to point B (and C, D, E and F), and go for it! Let your perseverance and drive be the foundation for achievement.

Thank you so much for this post. It brought to mind my favorate quote: the one that my mother used to have hanging above my crib when I was an infant, and the one that I have tried to model my life on.  

“If one advances confidently in the direction of one's dreams, and endeavors to live the life which one has imagined, one will meet with a success unexpected in common hours."

 

Henry David Throreau

Some really great quotes!  There's a lot of people who forget that.

Thanks to all for the quotes and food for constructive thought and action! I do love good quotes so much- they are short enough to penetrate the sometimes thick fog of my brain!

"What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the master calls the butterfly." Richard Bach

"Support fosters your growth. If you are getting enough of the right support, you will experience a major transformation in yourself. You will discover a sense of empowerment and peace you have never before experienced. You will come to believe you can overcome your challenges and find some joy in this world." Katie Jay
