hell yes what a great quote at the end ..
“I think: you don’t start something remarkable. You start something, then you make it remarkable along the way.” ~ Jeffrey Tang

This is really .. impressive. Because I really know the feeling when you ask yourself “how do I find my passion? What do I want to do with live?” while looking for the really big things..
You gave me a part of the answer: by starting something. You will know if its a passion along the way..

I've just started to work towards a really big goal and I was all buzzed about it at first, but after a short time I realize that today is no different than yesterday; all I did was give myself more work and more mundane tasks to do. However I know if I keep at it, remarkable things are possible.

Thanks for the great post.

Thanks for sharing Victoria's story, Cheryl. I think success often occurs in
surprising ways. You can't plan for it; what you can do is diligently lay
its foundations and seize the opportunity when it comes.

That is very well said. Our brain remembers extreme cases best so we tend to forget about all the mundane parts that make up something incredible, but you are absolutely right.

Wonderful post and thanks for including links to Sam, Mike and Sacha Blogs.

I think: you don’t start something remarkable. You start something, then you make it remarkable along the way. This is very true.

There are so many successful people who started from zero and never thought they would be living a successful life later.

There was a show on Oprah for the working moms who became Millionaire doing what they probably started not knowing that they will become Millionaire. Example: Victoria Knight-McDowell, an elementary school teacher suffered from cold and cough often and she distributed it to those in school having same problem. Now the airborne medicine is sold as over the counter medicine in the pharmacy section of Walmart. This is truly remarkable.

Cheers,

Great things comes as a result of our everyday task. Those little achievements we accomplish each day will evolve itself into something big when the time comes. :-)
