Success is Earned. Not Given.

Kekich Credo #38 - That which is most satisfying is that which is earned. Anything received free of charge is seldom valued. You can’t get something for (from) nothing. The price is too high.

Nothing worth having will ever be given to you.  If you want to achieve something, you have to go out there and earn it. The definition of earned is gained or acquired as the result of effort or action.

Without the hard work, there would be no reward.  Far too many people have the potential to reach their goal but they are not prepared to work for it.  Without earning your success, you never really appreciate it. Everything worth having is earned.  Not given.

Success occurs when you have pushed yourself beyond your limits. Success is a journey, where despite all our failures, we get up and we keep on going.

Individual success lies in your hands.  The reason most people never work on it is because they are afraid.  Everytime you start something new you have doubts. Success doesn’t happen overnight. Nothing worth having will ever be given to you.  If you want success, you have to go out there and earn it.

The tests and obstacles you face determine the strength of your passion and will be the reason for your success.  These difficulties will provide you with great rewards.  How can you be sure that you have given it your all if you never try again?  

No matter how tough it is, the path to reaching every goal teaches us something new about ourselves.  How focused we are.  How strong we are.  How driven we are.  Never be afraid of the journey before it has begun.  You never know what you will learn about yourself along the way.

Everything good demands a struggle.  No matter who you are, you will only really appreciate your success, once you have worked hard to achieve it.  Don’t be afraid of hard work.  It will get you places.  You will realize it was all worth it, when you can sit back and say you earned it. 

A path filled with obstacles will lead you to greatness.  A clear path is likely to lead you nowhere.
