Today's Thought (10)
HJFinAZ: 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.
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.

Damn, can't argue with any of that! Wise words indeed!

When the reward comes and go in the passing of time. What remains is the knowing you made the travel and are able when others have fallen by the way.

And because they were strong enough to bend. This also applies to men.

I do wish I could speak another language today. I want so bad to be able to speak Polish so I can converse in private to Yvonne Strahovski - my new crush.

Thanks for sharing Pat!I'll just say that during the 1980 NFL football season, head coach Bill Walsh of the San Francisco 49ers was ready to quit as coach due to the teams failures in his first year and a half. However, he was talked out of it during mid season, the 49ers ended their last five games 3-2 after losing their last 8 games and showed promise for the future.
Well, the 49ers won the superbowl in 1981 after going 2-14 in 1979 and 6-10 in 1980. Bill Walsh created a dynasty and is now in the pro football hall of fame.
He emphasized that the low points are part of the curve when you are going up, and that quitting early in his coaching career and football team would have been the biggest mistake of his life. He stated that you are closer than ever to success when you are enduring the tough times. The key element is to persevere with belief.
