Day 93: On Connecting Dots

Again,  you  can’t  connect  the  dots  looking  forward;  you  can  only

connect  them  looking  backwards.  So  you  have  to  trust  that  the  dots  will

somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut,

destiny, life, karma, whatever. Because believing that the dots will connect

down the road will give you the confidence to follow your heart even when

it leads you off the well-worn path and that will make all the difference.

—Steve Jobs

 

88

All you need to do to achieve your long-term goals is to stick to them.

Easy  to  say,  hard  to  do,  particularly  when  working  on  those  objectives

means  months  upon  months  of  depriving  yourself,  making  sacrifices  and

hard choices.

That’s why the belief that things will connect in the end is so important

for maintaining a high level of self-discipline over the long term. Willpower

alone  is  a  precious  tool  in  your  arsenal,  but  if  it  isn’t  combined  with  the

confidence that one day it will all be worth it, you may run out of juice well

before reaching that point.

When I started my entrepreneurial life, I instilled in myself the belief

that no matter what would happen along the way, every sacrifice, hardship,

blood,  sweat,  and  tears  would  be  worth  it  in  the  end.  I  had  a  powerful

reason why, and I was confident that I could make it come true.

If it weren’t for this belief, I know that I would have given up before

reaching  my  objective.  And  with  a  more  than  fair  share  of  knockout-like

failures,  this  would  have  probably  happened  a  long  time  before  the  dots

would have finally connected. It took me seven years before all of my dots

—  previous  experiences  and  acquired  skills  —  connected  and  helped  me

build a successful self-publishing company.

When in doubt, remind yourself that change takes time. What you now

see  as  completely  unrelated  things  can  soon  connect  and  form  a  beautiful

picture.
