The Secret to Progress

Do you ever feel like you're swimming in a sea of responsibility?  If so, you're not alone... Being overwhelmed by day to day tasks happens to the best of us.   Sometimes, we feel so spread thin by obligations, we wonder if we're even making a difference, at all.  For a quick reality check, ask yourself this simple question when facing any given task:

How can this help me reach my overall goal?

See, all too often, we tend to overlook the importance of our daily progression.  Let's face it, we all have to do things we don't want to do... and it usually takes longer than we thought!  If a task is not helping you progress towards what you ultimately want or need, then change it.    Each time we make the right choice, each step we take towards accomplishing our ultimate goal can be celebrated as a victory! 

In the 1950's, Robert H. Schuller, popularized the phrased “inch by inch, anything’s a cinch."  Okay, so we know e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g is not a cinch, but when we look back on our lives, we rarely remember all the little details... sometimes, we are in awe that we even did it!  Finding meaning and value in our day to day activities can be the secret to our progress.

Let's keep in mind, it's little tasks that create achieved goals.
