BOTTOM-UP

The heights by great men reached and kept were not attained by sudden flight, but they, while their companions slept, were toiling upward in the night-(Henry Wadsworth Longfellow)

I find the above quote very precise and instructive (useful & informative). 

I must say it takes you through an imaginative journey to accomplishment and touches on relevant facets of SUCCESS.

Let's quickly check out a few;

The heights by great men #reached - This simply talks about possibility. It tells us that #Success is attainable and within reach. This reiterates my favorite quote “IMPOSSIBLE IS A MIRAGE”, nullifies the opinions of naysayers and boldly heralds the limitless possibilities that are embedded on the inside of every individual and the great destiny that lies ahead.

The heights by great men reached and #kept-It is simply not enough to reach SUCCESS, it must as well be kept. Like they always say, the reason for being in business is to stay in business. Put in place some #SUCCESS #SUSTAINABILITY #STRATEGIES

Not attained by #sudden #flight-Incredible success takes times time. Many people feel that success happens in an instant. They assume that great inventions, artistic creations, profitable business ideas, sports victories and brilliant philosophical concepts are sudden.

This makes sense. The failure and hard work that lead to success can easily be overshadowed by the triumphant win- Scott Miker. 

Do not get caught up in this web. Necessity is laid on you to go through the process. Much like a 16-storey high rise building, it moves from the bottom-up, from foundation to ground floor to 1st floor...on & on it goes. (It's okay to start small but never okay to end small). Do not be too much in a rush, it can not be overnight. It just can't be overnight. Never get it twisted.

their companions slept- The friends you keep plays a key role in your journey to the top.. there are definitely some friends you must leave behind, not because they are evil but because of their attitudes. These friends only dream with their eyes closed and wake up to nothing. They simply do not find the urgency to sacrifice instant gratification to make tomorrow count. These friends dream asleep whilst you dream awake.

toiling upward in the night- this phrase throws us outside our comfort zones. Night is literally meant for sleep. It takes only those who are bubbling with uneasiness and unrest, completely tired of the status quo to toil at night. They discomfort themselves today for tomorrow's comfort. It is a place that only a few can abide.

GEAR UP FOR SUCCESS!! PUT IN THE WORK & NEVER QUIT!!
