One year… 12 months… How much can really happen in this time?

This week my parents were moving to their previous house and I was helping them in the packing and moving process.

They had moved to a temporary house for one year to do some major reconstructing in their old house - like painting, adding and removing some walls, and so many other changes.

Today was the last day of the moving process and they finally were settled here.

Right now that I’m writing these words for you, I’m in my old room in this house where I used to live one year ago.

But I’m not living here anymore because as you may remember, I have moved to my own apartment a couple of months ago - which is a totally unconventional act here in Iran by the way.

Well, today when I was walking in this room (the room I had spent all my childhood, teen years, and all my life until last year), I remembered how fast this one year had passed, and how many major changes have happened in my business and life…

I’m not talking only in terms of increase of income, but also increase of valuable experiences, connections with wonderful people, big plans for my business and life, and so much more.

You see, one year ago, I was still making a nice living on the Internet, but it wasn’t even close to what I’m making right now and my overall success in my business comparing to today, was like a tiny little star comparing to the shining sun in the day.

It was amazing to walk in the same room, see and touch the same walls, look out through the same window, but with so many great changes in my life.

But you know what?

This post is NOT about me… It’s about YOU!

You can see where you are right today, right now…

But the question is, where are you going to be 12 months from today?

Or let me ask it in a better way… “Where do you WANT to be 12 months from today?”

And here’s the amazing thing about it…

Whatever you want, you can achieve way more than that, because we always underestimate the time and potential we have to reach our goals.

If someone would ask me if I could get where I am right now one year ago, I would without a doubt say not at all and that I’d need at least 5 years. But what about now?

So let’s make a promise to yourself today…

Never, ever let go of your dreams and goals - even if you seem so far from success today.

Even if everybody around you keeps saying “You can’t do it.”

Even if the road to success gets all uphill sometimes…

Because you might be much closer to success than you’d ever think…

“Most people give up just when they’re about to achieve success. They quit on the one yard line. They give up at the last minute of the game, one foot from a winning touchdown.” - Ross Perot

Whatever your goal is, you CAN have reached it and many times over in just 12 months from now.

Just imagine it’s already one year later and you’re living your dream life. See it, feel it, and touch it. And believe that you can make it happen if you want to.

And no matter how people around you try to disappoint you and make you give up your dreams, remember that you have friend in another part of the world that deeply believes in you and knows that you can do it!

Wishing you much success beyond your dreams!
