Understand that there is a purpose for where you are and a reason for why you are not where you would like to be. Make a plan and act on that plan daily and accordingly, but also with the acceptance that your place right now is likely meant to teach and prepare you to be and stay where you want to go. Make the most of every day you are in and remember that doing so should not always consist of reviewing the many ways you 'have not yet' but the many ways 'you have' made the most of life; the good, the bad, the awesome, and the challenging and commit to continue making the most of the day you are in.

Actively invest your time and energy in your goal every day, but also remember to take time to appreciate what you have, how far you have come, and who you are right now.
