Here is a general idea of where the magic is.
If a person believes there is a reasonable chance of making their dream happen and they have a sincere desire to make it happen, three things occur:
1. Their focus becomes very narrow.
2. Distractions begin to fade as the goal becomes more evident. (However, sometimes they start to pull away from some relationships for a season.)
3. They zero in on activities that lead to the changes they long for. As they make progress—honing their skill set or craft or muscle tone, whatever—they look for the next challenge that is “just manageable.” They find the next task that is difficult but doable on the way to their dream. Victory is not guaranteed, but it is possible as the individual does what they can from where they are to make it happen.
