Everything we do has a beginning and an end. Both are important but what goes on between them is generally where all the learning, and struggle take place. There are often many things pressing on us and sometimes our “to do” list may be long and daunting. As we navigate through it, we prioritize what is most important and try to do that first, and then hope to get as much of the rest done as possible. If there are a lot of difficult items to address we may get weary. If we’re exhausted it won’t really matter what is next to do, we may decide it isn’t worth the effort and simply stop. We may reach a point when fatigue takes over and we’re done – whether the list has been completed or not. Running out of steam and feeling the pull of exhaustion is a clue that perhaps we’ve planned to do more than is reasonable. It’s good to set goals that stretch us and help us learn new things but if those goals are beyond what we can physically manage, it may be time to regroup and make a new plan. We don’t have to move constantly and do everything at once. We’re in control of how we spend our time and can plan our days to accomplish what is most important and allow ourselves time recharge. We set the pace of how we’ll go forward. By being realistic about what we can do and honoring our personal needs, we will accomplish much and feel energized. We can take care of business and take care of ourselves at the same time. We are strong and can manage many things well. There isn’t anything we can’t do with careful planning and effective time management. Everything is within reach and we can accomplish anything we set out to do.
There may be pressure from those around us to do more, do it faster, and push ourselves harder. There are lots of different opinions about how we should live our lives and we may certainly listen to all of them. We know what we want and how we want to accomplish it. Everyone may choose the roads they want to travel and the speed they want to run. We know who we are and will find success when we are true to what works for us individually. Deciding the direction and pace we will travel will take us to the goal. We can go anywhere and do anything, and we can do it our way.
The world defines success in many different ways. To some it’s how fast the goal is accomplished. To others it’s how far we push ourselves to get there. We can decide what determines our personal success and it need not agree with anyone else’s ideas. We’re all unique and our interpretations are valuable and important. We may not see things the way others do, and we may not travel the same roads. But we can still reach success and accomplish anything we desire. There are endless roads to every destination. We can travel our own way and find the treasure.
Today if you’re being pressured to get things done more quickly or to change direction, decide what you want the most and plan the way forward to get there. You can do anything you desire and nothing will keep you from your goals. Set the pace that works for you and step forward. You know what you want and you will get there.
