The enemy of success identified here is procrastination. Procrastination is the delay in taking action or the inability to exert action immediately. Procrastination means setting goals but failing to start the process of achieving the goal. Procrastination means knowing you have to read but keeps postponing the time to start reading. Procrastination means having a work in mind and resources at hand but lacking the zeal to utilize the resources at that time.
Procrastination is an evil to success and this accounts for the reason a lot of potentials are yet to be unraveled. The ability to chase dreams is so challenging to some people that they feel tomorrow is the best time to pursue their dreams not knowing that now is the best time.
Most people have failed to succeed because they have never started the journey of success. This I have described as failure at arrival. It will interest us to know that success is for the risk taker and not the comfort seeker. Risk here means starting not minding the perceived challenges. And so, to succeed you must start!
