Everything you achieve on the outside has first been created on the inside. The victories that the world is able to see are direct reflections of the victories that you've already won within yourself.
Your biggest obstacle to success can be your own inability to see yourself reaching it. Once you know without a doubt that you can do it, you will indeed make it happen.
The most important person to convince is you. Once you are truly convinced that you can do it, others will quickly be convinced as well.
Whatever you seek to achieve, achieve it first on the inside. Then, even the most formidable outer challenges will not have the power to stop you.
Inner achievement will build your confidence and fuel your persistence. Inner achievement will put the power of purpose behind every action.
Work to convince yourself of the worthiness and value of the goal you seek. And from that inner achievement, the outer achievement will surely flow.
-- Ralph Marston
