Many small successes

We did our 9+3 review in Johor Baru recently to try to make it to the tape.

On the path stretching between us and our goals, there is no red carpet. More often we find a swamp.

Worthwhile goals demand effort, risk and sacrifice. We have to persist through fear and doubt; we have to draw on inner resources and become more than we were before. Every new challenge is an initiation: we meet discouragement; we overcome discomfort, boredom and frustration; we find out what we're made of.

That lofty dreams in the distant future are a difficult burden to carry. The best goals may be those we can handle in the next week, the next day, the next hour or the next step. We should create a process that yields many small successes
