99 more times


For something to change, for a habit to from, for someone to notice what we are doing or saying, you’ve done it once, now you might have to do it another 99 times for the magic to happen.

Change is repetition, commitment, perseverance and patience.

Doing it once is not enough, doing every day for months or even years brings about a powerful compound effect.

No perceivable change occurs in the early stages and that is where we most often give in, we wanted the quick fix instant result kind of change, but lasting change takes longer.

But once you build momentum the change is often surprisingly much better than expected and easier then to maintain.

What change will you do at least 99 more times?

Is there a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow?

We are always looking for it.

Lottery tickets, betting on something, looking for the shortcuts, trying to find a way to get to the pot of gold.

Yet our pot of gold is on our hands every day of our life, we just have to invest in getting it.

Invest the time and effort in ourselves and our dreams, work on it every day, trying to improve and get better.

There are no shortcuts that are worthwhile.

The long-term game is the only one to play and you will then get to your pot of gold, whatever ‘gold’ is for you, maybe happiness, joy, fulfilment, meaning…..If it’s money, then perhaps carry on trying to find the end of the rainbow, or buy more lottery tickets.

Hard work, commitment, discipline, passion, determination, applying learning, patience and love will bring gold.
