The Courage Is In The Trying
How often do we set unrealistic goals for ourselves and then condemn ourselves and feel guilty when our goals are not met? What does this do for our confidence and self-esteem? Yes, it's a wonderful feeling to accomplish our goals and tick something off our list. However, isn't the true reward in the journey itself, in every step along the way to reaching a goal? It takes courage to try, to show up each day and make an effort, no matter how seemingly small. As much as we may want to have it/do it all now, nothing of true value is attained without effort.
Make one step along the path to reaching a goal. In taking this step you will be making a statement to the Universe that your goal is important and be one step closer to meeting it. Remember, progress not perfection!
