success stories

All success stories seem so easy, as if a fairy godmother had waved her wand and "voilà" it is done. This is not the case, on the contrary, it is about conquering fear.

Each success story begins with an impulse - sometimes a very small one, hardly even a movement of the air, but it triggers something inside. Most often it isn't even noticed unless the time is right. When acted upon, this tiny impulse grows into life. It's breathtaking; everything seems to fall in place, all the right signals are there. And it is easy, it is always initially easy. Things, people and moments just magically appear at the time when they are the most needed. Sometimes even before you know the need. So it's a little bit like "paint-by-numbers"...up to a point.
That's when it gets difficult or painful or scary. This is where many people abandon the project because the "flow" is gone. The people who stay through this intensely difficult stage are the winners. They are the ones with the success-stories. To grow is to conquer fear. Who ever said it would be easy? The bigger load you are carrying from programming and, for you, wrong beliefs, the more conquering to be done, it is a learning experience. If you are not prepared to push also when there is no hope in sight, you do not believe. And when you do not believe, you can not achieve.
