The old saying goes, 'where there’s a will, there is a way.'This can account for why many people never discover the way to reach their dreams- they lose their will to find a way. Discovering how to achieve your goal is not so difficult, if you can hold on to your will to succeed. You need to want something badly enough to ignore the obstacles you will undoubtedly encounter. To keep your eyes on the ‘prize,’ and to keep persisting in getting to where you want to be.

In the words of Winston Churchill, “never, never, never, never give up.” If you heed this advice, and keep your goal firmly in mind, you will find that there is a way.

If you do give up, you will not be able to truthfully declare that ‘there is no way,’ only that you gave up before you found the way. There might be 999 ways that will not work for you, and if you quit at that or before, you will not discover that the thousandth way does work. Keep going until you find a way that works.

Even the ways that don’t work will teach you many things.

Edison claimed that he didn’t have failures- he succeeded in discovering thousands of ways that a light bulb could not be made! What an empowering way to look at ‘failures.’ His positive attitude allowed him to persist, until he finally found the way that did work.

Are there things in your life that you tried to achieve, but gave up after a few, or many, attempts that didn’t work? If you had kept trying, you might have found the way that does work by now. How would that have changed the way your life is today?

Well, it is never too late to try again. You can dust off those, as yet, unfulfilled dreams or goals, and start trying again. Just don’t expect that your first or even fiftieth attempt will succeed. It might. You might strike it lucky, and find the way that works on one of your first attempts. If this happens though, you will be among the minority.

Most goals, especially most big goals, take time and repeated attempts. This is why so many people ‘fail’ to reach their dreams. They don’t really fail, they just stop trying. They think that if something doesn’t work quickly enough, it is not going to work, or that it is not worth the effort.

If something is ‘not worth the effort’ of trying again and again until you find that there is a way that works, you can’t have wanted it very badly. Isn’t fulfilment and happiness worth a lifelong effort?

I truly believe that there is a way to have everything we want in life. It is just not always possible to have things as quickly as we might like.

Sometimes this is because what we want at a certain point in our lives is actually not what is for our highest good, and we need more time to fine-tune our ideas of what would really make us happy.

Have you ever had a burning desire to have or do something, and upon achieving it quickly, found that it really wasn’t what you expected after all?

Another reason that things might take time is that we are not ready to have them yet. We may need some more mental or physical preparation to be able to adjust to the reality of a dream coming true. The universe gently withholds things that are not truly right for us, unless having these things will teach us valuable life lessons.

Often we know the essence of what we want, but need time to become clear about what form this will take.

You might know that you want to make a positive difference in the lives of people around you. Knowing this much is a good start, but until you can become clear about how you want to achieve this goal, it will be difficult for you to find a way that works for you. Knowing what you want is a very big part of having it. If all you have are vague longings for ‘something better,’ don’t be surprised that you are not getting any closer to fulfillment.

If you get very clear about what you want, you will discover that there is a way to have it. Make sure that what you want is for your highest good, and is also for the good of others.

Believe that you can have what you want. Set out to achieve your goal, and keep trying until you reach it.

When you find it hard to believe that there is a way to do something, just give it one more try. One day that ‘one more try’ will be the way that works.

If you believe in yourself and the perfect order of the universe, and you never give up, you cannot fail to succeed!
