THE SILENT EFFORT



Nothing won easily, remains forever. (Abel Desestress)

Many seek success through the "idea" that suddenly, overnight, they will have success. They seek the path of quick and easy success, which often are sold by the media and advertisements. Of course, I will not be the one who will discourage anyone in this attempt to achieve tremendous success quickly and instantly. I just want to illustrate in this article that generally the way to the greatest success remains dynamically different. Usually this is the result of what I call the "silent effort."
It is that kind of effort that leads a person to dedicate every day for one or more decades to building their business.
It is that kind of effort that makes someone spend several hours away from their work every day for several years to write the book they carry in their mind.
It is that kind of effort that makes a mother and a father give the best of themselves every day to raise children with values and responsible.
It is that kind of effort that makes no noise, but it steadily builds the investigations that cause researches in science to advance.
It is that kind of effort that focuses on improving steadily every day the mastery of some gift or skill.
It is that kind of effort that is able to withstand the difficult times that always appear in any process of advancement and conquest.
It is ultimately, this "quiet effort" that millions of people make everyday while pursuing their dreams and aspirations. That is where the big key is found.
It is taken in that part of building and effort as part of the reward.
It is the enjoying of the road.
It is making the effort rewarding because in the process you are becoming more of what you already were.
Instead of thinking that you are paying a price, you begin to realize that with each of those silent efforts you are each time closer to taking and achieving your goals: The effort like a reason for joy.
