“You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backward. 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. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.”
— Steve Jobs, Founder of Apple Inc.
When you have a big goal in mind, it can make the future seem really scary. How do you know you'll make it? What if you put in a ton of effort and fail? It's all impossible to predict.
Despite that uncertainty, the only way you'll have a shot at building a great future for yourself is to believe that it’s achievable in the first place.
Belief gives you the courage to get started, the clarity to work smart, and the energy to persist through to the achievement of your goal.
“Never let the future disturb you. You will meet it, if you have to, with the same weapons of reason which today arm you against the present.”
— Marcus Aurelius, Emperor of the Roman Empire

“The secret of your future is hidden in your daily routine.”
— Mike Murdock, Preacher of Prosperity Theology
