Quote of the Day:

 

“The road to success is not to be run upon by seven-leagued boots. Step by step, little by little, bit by bit—that is the way to wealth, that is the way to wisdom, that is the way to glory.”

 

- Sir Thomas Fowell Buxton

 I have included the above quote, as I felt a true resonation with it.

 

Many times, I have attempted to change the world in one day, and complete a massive project in one go.    

 

I have since worked out, that it is easier to pace myself, and break a large project up, into smaller chunks, that can be completed in blocks of about an hour or two at a time.

 

I say this, as it can otherwise be easy to become discouraged, and see a massive steep mountain, up ahead, instead of a short road to travel, in smaller chunks.

 

The idea here is to move forward, a little bit at a time, and see you will arrive.

 

Another weay to look at this is to think of driving a car at night.

 

You can only see a few metres up ahead of you at any time, (and always the same distance ahead) but you realise that you will get there, to your destination. You know you are moving forward, along your road.

 

I wish you to apply the same thinking to your daily projects- you will get there.

 

All the best,

 

 

Martin
