Little by little one walks far. -- Peruvian Proverb

Goals provide a focal point in the future for our journeys.  They can serve as a beacon providing illumination.

But we all know some journeys can be difficult.  They can become stressful.  We can become tired.  And, we can start to question the continuing relevance of our pursuits.  What should we do?

It is at times like these that we may need to reach deep inside to find the determination and will to press on. 

Perhaps you're feeling overwhelmed by the size of your goals.  If so, try dividing your goals into “bite-size” chunks to make them more manageable. 

Re-examine how realistic your timeframes are and, if possible, cut yourself some slack.  Would you be happier reaching your destination a little late or not at all?

Reflect on the quantity of goals you are currently pursuing.  How many are realistic for you?  Learn to say “no” and be careful of overcommitting.

Then, try visualizing how good you’ll feel when you finally do arrive at your destination.  Find renewed energy in taking one thing at a time.  Each step really does add up!
