The Climb from Here
Filed Under The Winner Within |
So, what’s necessary to make the next move up?
We are all used to setting goals—short-term goals, long-term goals, financial goals, health goals, and vacation goals. The list goes on and on. Once the goal is set, the process to breathe life into it can seem daunting at times. The question arises: “Based on where I am now and my experience of the past, how can I make this or that happen?”
Recently it became very clear where we are compared to where we want to be. I was helping my son (about to turn 4) with his letters. After great effort he was able to spell the letters (somewhat abstract) of his name. There scrawled on the page before me and his beaming mom was the name “Jonah.”
Looking down it struck me how much he has to learn in his yet short life and how far he will one day go. That distance traveled already for most of us is great. The distance we have traveled, the skills we have mastered, the triumphs we have tasted and the knowledge we now have to invest into the next good idea or the next ambitious project will be supported by all that we have.
Take a moment and give thanks for all that you now process and all that you have to invest into tomorrow. The distance you have traveled is now what makes tomorrow possible.
