We are on MARS.what's your excuse!
If you haven’t heard, we have safely landed a craft on mars...ON MARS!
This got me thinking, if we can get a computer controlled device to land on a planet that is 100’s of millions of miles away, what sort of accomplishments can I achieve? What can you achieve? What can we all achieve?
I hear THIS all the time...
People say I can’t, people say it is too tough, people tend to think that someone else has some special skill that got them to where they were at.
Sometimes this is the case, but very, VERY rarely. More often than not, success is created through perseverence and hard work. That is the formula.
There is a phase you go through to create success. Success is not a singular event, it is a chosen path. You don’t all of a sudden “achieve” success, it is a cumulation of incremental activities.
The point that I am getting at here is that someone just like you (a few people actually) has put a spacecraft on Mars.
To me, the idea of how this could be accomplished and the fact that this is a reality is unbelievable. Through a series of failures and incremental successes, we have been able to take a little piece of metal and direct it to a distant land, a land that is on average 225 million kilometers away (around 140 million miles).
And then, to top that off this little machine is going to take a picture perfect image and send it back through space to use here on earth so we can look at it.
Here are a few of these photos..
WHAT IS YOUR EXCUSE?
We have people guiding hunks of metal to Mars and you are contemplating that you cannot achieve success online?!
This seems crazy to me and if you put it into perspective of what the HUMAN species can achieve and what the task in front of you is, spending time creating some of value to others seems minimal.
Wealthy Affiliate as an accomplishment seems minimal compared to MARS!
Failures are going to take place. In fact, I have probably failed several 1,000 times trying new things online, however these are all cumulatively acting as part of the road to success. IThe Curiosity lander wasn’t the first attempt at Mars and it definitely was not create without a series of failures.
So today I would like to encourage you to stay persistent, shoot for your own Mars, and work your butt off to get there. Amazing things can and will happen!
But, what they do have is a deep desire to succeed no matter what obstacles are put in front of them. Kyle is right on...incremental steps to get to where you want to go!
"An obstacle in the pathway of the weak becomes a stepping-stone in the pathway of the strong" My point here is that the reason Kyle, or any other pro in any other field, is so "smart", is because when they were "dumb" and "failed", they learned from their mistakes and use as a stepping stone. :P
Thanks for the encouragement kyle!
I took a ride on an electron microscope down into the depths of a piece of steel, to its walls of atoms. Pretty harrowing to think about existence on this level.
Gotta want to explore. It offsets the challenges. It is just a matter of time.
I can say (virtually) that I have been on Mars. I spent my time in a tiny crater. It took two hours to move cross it to the bank on the other side. I kept going towards a cliff that forms part of the crater. Later I followed a wash-out that went for miles. There was water here in antiquity. I followed until it led to just a big expanse of flat land, nothing but sand. I left Mars.
I don't enter my future, I create it. Too few take action and go for mastery because it usually isn't glamourous. Only the resolution itself held the sensation. Thinking is hard work from which many shrink. Opportunities are often hidden under hard work and getting into places where one is unfamiliar.
The vast majority keep asking, "What happened?" because it is of common belief that the future throws things at us and we're vulnerable and the belief is convenient because there is less thought involved.
