Simplified Meaning:
When you commit to a goal with strong determination, even when faced with big challenges, you shouldn’t be shocked when you finally achieve it. For example, if someone decides they want to become a doctor and they work very hard for years, studying and practicing despite many obstacles, it won’t be a surprise when they finally get their medical degree. This is because they’ve been working towards it for so long that reaching it feels natural. It’s not a sudden or unexpected change; rather, it’s the result of persistent effort and focus. By visualizing and working towards your goal daily, it gradually becomes a part of who you are. This approach can be applied to any area of life, whether it’s a career goal, a personal milestone, or a lifestyle change.
