Just a Little Further

When you feel like quitting, simply don't. Rather begin to approach your journey in bite size pieces. Retructure your thinking so that you value even the smallest victories. Perhaps you made one additional phone call or responded to an email. Maybe you read one extra line in a book or did one extra household chore. Whatever it is, it is progress and brings you one step closer to your destination. There will be moments where we feel like we can fly and others where we feel as though we don't even have the will to crawl. That's when we have to tell ourselves "just a little further." Make the extra push, then make another, and another. Soon enough the momentum will come.

Moving Under Fire

The times in life when we are making the most progress can prove to be the most challenging as well.    
Progress doesn't necessarily equate to ease and sometimes it is downright hard. Even though things get difficult, we should not stop doing what we know we ought. If we allow ourselves to give way because our process is not a bed of roses, we will be robbing ourselves of the rewards that come from sticking it out. Anything worth having will take hard work to gain and maintain. It is a worthy aim, worth our blood, sweat, and tears. We will be much happier after the fact, once we have accomplished what we have set out to do, as oppose to letting the opportunity pass us by. Sometimes you have to keep moving, no matter how difficult it gets, until you find yourself on the other side where the sun is shining and the sky is blue.
