“I always believed that if you set out to be successful, then you already were”
— Katherine Dunham
Simplified Meaning:
When you aim to achieve something and decide to go after it, you've already made a big step toward success. It's like when a student decides they want to get good grades. Just making that decision and starting to study hard means they are already on the path to success. They have set a goal and are taking steps to reach it, which is a success in itself. Similarly, if someone wants to get fit and starts exercising, they are already successful for committing to their goal. The journey and the effort you put in are what really count. So, believing in your goal and working toward it is as important as achieving it. This way of thinking helps people stay motivated and confident, because they recognize their efforts as wins, no matter how far they've come.
