In every accomplishment, is there any decision to try?

Time for a little positivity, I’m hoping this can put a smile on your face! As per usual, I like breaking down positive quotes and analyzing them, I think there’s a lot to uncover! Today is no exception — Coming from @itcertification_certmagic on Instagram, the quote is “Every accomplishment begins with the decision to try.”

Do we know why this is? It’s because everything that happens once started as nothing. It started as zero. Everything requires a first step, overcoming inertia and building into a steady momentum.

Okay, so that handles the first half, “every accomplishment begins”, but what about the rest — “with the decision to try”. When is it that we make the decision to try?

To me it happens in two different settings — The first setting is pretty obvious, it’s at the origin or the start. We make some decision that takes us from inaction to action, and that transition is the decision to try. But the second set is a little more overlooked, and I think more interesting. It’s the moment we commit and go all in. How many times have we started something and then not backed it up with our actions? Those are the situations where we’re convincing ourselves we’re trying, but we really haven’t started trying yet. Great things can’t happen until you commit to the result you want.

This thought pairs really well with a quote I learned from my mentor Mike Sherbakov, taken from the book “As a Man Thinketh” by James Allen. The quote goes, “The greatest achievement was at first, for a time, a dream.”

So that’s the start, identifying the dream and what you want to achieve. Then we turn that dream into a reality, “Every accomplishment begins with the decision to try”. Go all-in on that dream and make it happen! And I’d say, knowing that we have the power to turn our dreams into a reality is definitely something worth smiling about!
