Achievement<br />What is achievement made of? It is made of inconvenience. It is made <br />of frustration. It is crafted from problems that are difficult and <br />complicated to overcome. It is created out of tedious effort and challenging <br />thoughts. <br />Some people shy away from those things that make up achievement. Some <br />people consider them unpleasant, or too much trouble. Thankfully, there <br />are others who know better. There are those who realize that <br />achievement is worth the inconvenience, worth the effort, worth the challenge. <br /><br />Do you avoid achievement because of what it entails? Then you're not <br />seeing the whole picture. You're focusing only on the price, and not <br />fully appreciating the reward. <br /><br />There will indeed be problems whenever you decide to achieve something. <br />So what? What is really so bad about problems? Nothing! You're equipped <br />to handle them. You're experienced at getting through them. You have <br />the intelligence, the resources and the persistence to get past those <br />problems. <br /><br />So do it! Aim high. Go for those spectacular achievements. Don't just <br />let your time and your life pass by. Fill your days with the richness of <br />achievement. What you get out of it is well worth what you put in. Be <br />willing to pay the price for achievement, and you'll discover it's a <br />true bargain. <br /><br />Ralph Marston
