Life has never being easy. Sometimes, all the tasks and difficulties loom so large ahead; that we feel putting in any effort is just not worth any effort. Investing your time, money and energy seems worthless. Whether it is losing weight, passing your exams or striving for a promotion all seem too much effort worthy but not yielding any results! Life will always be a path of challenges and success. Without the one, the other cannot survive. You will need to put some efforts to achieve what you want, however hard, daunting and worthless it might seem in the beginning.
For e.g., take a piece of hard ice. Subject it to some heat. In the beginning nothing will happen. The supreme heat also will look as if it is putting in efforts but not yielding the right results. The, all of a sudden, after some time, the ice will begin to melt! It took some time, but you got your results. Now, keep heating the melted water, nothing will happen for some time. But subject it to heat till 100 degree Celsius is achieved and voila! Water starts boiling and evaporating.
This applies to our life also. We put in lot of efforts to lose weight or bag a promotion. But do not see immediate results. In a world where people are obsessed with instant food, instant success and instant happiness, please remember that efforts will yield desired outcome but not “instantly”. It might take a little longer than what you initially expected but results will be visible. Just because you started dieting and exercising, within one week results are not possible. After all you did not gain those pounds instantly, so how can you lose them instantly! Actually, your energy is already producing change, but you just cannot see it immediately. Continue to put in 100% of efforts and energy and you will surely see a transformation.
Sometimes, you think of a plethora of things that need to done in a day and you feel exhausted in just thinking about it. We think we cannot achieve so many things in a single day and want to just lie down and sleep. Now, just because we think we cannot achieve those 10 things in a day, we do not even put in any efforts and ultimately do not even achieve one single task! Unless and until you do not put in any efforts and start a task, it will never be completed.
Always remember, no efforts go waste. They will reap you benefits in some form or the other! So get up and put in maximum efforts and energy to attain success and desired results! None of your efforts will ever go waste.
