Determination

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!

Treat People as the Person They Can Become

If you treat an individual as if he were what he ought to be and could be, he will become what he ought to be and could be. -- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Life is a journey; a work in progress. Every day each of us is becoming all that we are capable of becoming but at different paces.
Not everyone has reached their full potential. Some of us need help to get there. Each of us can have an impact -- positively or negatively -- on helping other people reach their full potential.
Do you recall who that person was that "helped" you become what you are today? Perhaps they helped you see possibilities when all you could see were problems. Perhaps they had faith in you when you were doubting yourself. Perhaps they recognized a talent that you did not know you had. Perhaps they encouraged you to think of bigger possibilities.
Try seeing someone for what they can become. Choose to help someone release their greatness!
