Endure Hardship, Embrace Discipline.  This came to me when I was reading Hebrews Chapter 12 today on the train back from Grand Central Station.  The writer Paul encourages us to not shy away from these things.  He explains that hardship and discipline is for our good.  That God the father allows us to experience these short times of unpleasant circumstances in order to produce an even greater crop afterwards.  

Helen Keller said "There are no shortcuts to any place worth going"

You have to grasp and understand that your dreams are not going to be handed to you.

You are going to have to endure hardships.

You are going to have to embrace the disciplines that will launch your success.

You are going to have to drown out that voice that wants you to not just take the short cut but ultimately give up.

You have to be willing, patient and diligent in finding the path that leads you to your dream.

You must start now, why wait?

You have what it takes!
