STORY FOR YOUR WEEK

A Little Bit Every Day

By Catherine Pulsifer

 

Recently I had a conversation with a person who has a long-term goal that will take a few years to achieve. The individual seemed overwhelmed with the size of the goal and was getting discouraged. Their focus was on all the things they need to do to reach the goal and their comment to me was, "I just can't do it". It reminded me of the story of the clock that had been running and running:

 

This clock had sat on the mantle for years. And it ran and ran.

 

One day, the clock began to think about how many times it had to tick during the year. It counted up the seconds - it would have to tick 31,536,000 times a year.

 

The clock seemed overwhelmed - "I can't do it, that is just too much." So the clock stopped ticking.

 

Then somebody reminded the clock that it didn't have to tick the 31,536,000 seconds all at one time, but rather one tick at a time.

 

The clock then realized this was okay and started ticking again!

 

When we set our goals, it is good to visualize the end results. But, getting to our goal is doing a little bit every day; not doing it all at once. So the next time you find yourself overwhelmed by your goal, remember the clock and the number of ticks - do a little bit every day and over time you will reach your goal. Believe me, reaching your goal is worth it!

QUOTES for YOUR WEEK:

You have to set goals that are almost out of reach. If you set a goal that is attainable without much work or thought, you are stuck with something below your true talent and potential.

Steve Garvey

 

The tragedy of life doesn't lie in not reaching your goal. The tragedy lies in having no goals to reach.

Benjamin Mays

 

In achieving your goals, you may run into roadblocks. Don't let that stop you, go around, over, or under. If you are committed to your goal you will find a way.

Catherine Pulsifer

 

Our plans miscarry because they have no aim. When a man does not know what harbour he is making for, no wind is the right wind.

Seneca

 

Do it now. You become successful the moment you start moving toward a worthwhile goal.

In life, as in football, you won't go far unless you know where the goalposts are.
