Potential richness
It just takes one instant to cross the finish line. Yet you go through every step of the race to get to that instant.
In reaching any goal, you have to put forth many individual efforts that don’t yield immediate results. Only when every previous step is done and you complete the final step does the achievement become yours.
Those steps along the way can feel unrewarded, and that might be discouraging. So it’s important to keep yourself reminded of the progress you’re making, even when you have little in the moment to show for it.
Although your destination is far away in the distance, you’re advancing toward it right here and now. Though you’re not yet close enough to see it, you are working your way in the right direction.
The longer you persist the more value you’re able to create. As you invest your time and effort you’re making the eventual result more meaningful.
As you complete each step along the way, envision the potential richness it is adding to your life. Be inspired to keep going all the way to where that potential richness becomes fully realized.
— Ralph Marston
