It all start with a step.
Stone by stone builds the castle. Today might be the start, today you laid the foundation, but be well assured that sometime tomorrow you'll be starring back at a finished master piece. It start is always the hardest, as the struggle between your mind and will are yet not conform to the task ahead, our human nature wants to seek for the easiest way out, a maneuver while at same time get the desired finished product. Well more often than not, this isn't so, the way to success isn't a short cut, one must face the right approach head strong. Its a deliberate act to building an empire, it's an intentionally action of laying the right stones daily, gathering and building for the future we so desire.
It all starts with a step, not much, not necessary an action, not necessary an item, but that Making up of your mind that this is it, this is what I'm gonna do, and I'll do it, that's the real founding stone to the fulfilment of every aspirations. It all starts with you making up your mind about it, I'm gonna do this, its how I like to call it the awakening. It's what gets every amazing thing you can mostly see around today done, that mind make up, it's the real father. Why I used mostly everything you see around its because truthfully some amazing things we see around today aren't planned, in fact no one made up his or her mind about it, it just happened coincidentally, but this occurrence is very rare. You wouldn't sit and cross your legs now and want some mighty coincidence to take place that would give you the future you desire right? So you seat up and plan towards making the first foundation to your ambitions, the foundation of making up your mind about the things you are so going to do and doing them.
Take an example from our everyday life, but it would very well explain the power of making up your mind. As men, there is always this anger to do our laundry, for me I guess and most guys have seen also, so I just concluded it's a guys thing to hate laundry, ladies we love you all. So in as much as we don't wanna do our laundry, it gets to a point where we are almost going shirtless cause they are all now becoming unbearable to wear, in fact they are now heaped like a mountain staring back at us. Then as bachelor's if there's no cash to pay a cleaning service, we very much make up your mind the night before and say "by morning, I'm going to do my laundry, yes I'll do it, I must do it" some will even go to the mirror to say it "I am doing my laundry tomorrow morning". Then we really do it in the morning and start feeling good about ourselves, in fact that day can hardly go bad. That's to say is there's a lot of strength you can draw from Making up your mind. It's amazing, it's just the start but it's a main ingredient to the final results.
The question now is, what's my starting stone?, well it isn't far fetched, the start is mainly just making up your mind about the matter, not tossed here and there with wavering thoughts, your mind is now fixed on exactly what to pursue. Its the power of focus, we are to employ, as it helps channel much force in just a particular area thereby causing an undeniable effect thereof. Another foundational stone, might just be waking up to the task, no more longer hours in bed, now there's a job to be done. You plan and execute. The empire doesn't signify a building, this I know you are aware of, it signifies that future you have so desired, that life you have been praying and hoping for, its the empire of your heart, only now you aren't just waiting for luck to shine forth, or coincidence bring in your desires. No, rather its now a deliberate actions you are taking with your empire in view.
Every foundation has a starting stone, it doesn't do much, it doesn't mean the building has been completed, in fact many other stones too would be laid, many irons and zinc and aluminum and the likes would be laid, but yet it starts by laying down one stone to show we have officially started, we have now begun the process, have you laid the founding stone today? Have you made up your mind to your seating ambitions? Your dreams are a castle but stone by stone builds the castle. Lay your stone today.
