"If at first you don't succeed........"

We've all heard the familiar phrase and some of us may use it often. "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again." Among many quotes by various authors, I often think of this one as well. Most of us have heard it often (maybe too often) but how many of us have actually stopped to think about it?

I want to encourage all of you out there who are trying really hard at something (whatever it may be). Give it your best and don't give up! Things are going to be difficult, however, if you really want to succed at "that one thing" that's important to you......keep at it!

Example - ***** My first article is being published!!!!!!*****

You may see those fruits of your labor early on in your journey, or you may have to wait. You know what they say, the best things in life are worth waiting for. How true that is.

Enjoy your journey,
Wish and dream,

Danielle

"Anything that I've ever done that was ultimately worthwhile, intially scared me to death."

-Betty Bender

How true this statement is!!!! I recently "bit the bullet" and applied for a freelance writing position - and a few days later, landed the job!! Now I am currently writing nonfiction articles online and getting published to write about what I know best - Education topics. So even though I'm not in the classroom, I get a chance to get my ideas and advice out there!! It a small start on the way to my ultimate goal!!

Living the dream,
Danielle
