Today's Gift
Today's Gift
It is a matter first of beginning - and then following
through. --Richard L. Evans
How many times have we started a project or a new path of living only to
abandon it after a short time? We may have thought it wasn't what we wanted or
there wasn't enough time. Instead of following through, we usually gave up just
when it was getting challenging and difficult.
What are our dreams today? Do we wish we could speak a second language,
know how to operate a computer, exercise regularly, or attend more meetings?
What's stopping us? Each task we'd like to accomplish can only be done by
persistence and dedication. We learn a new language one word at a time, learn
how to operate a computer one step at a time, exercise regularly one day at a
time, and attend more meetings one night at a time.
We don't have to give up an endeavor just because the hard work has
begun. Instead of looking down the road where we want to be, we need to look at
this moment. If we take a step toward our goals, we'll be closer than if we
never took that step.
I can walk toward my goal, remembering each step I take will bring me
closer to achievement and personal reward.
