Thoughtful Thursday 1/14/2016

As the new year continues to gain momentum, I think this picture is important.

It would be nice if success was really like the illustration on the left.  Well, maybe not.  If success was a straight line, there wouldn't be any learning, or failing.  Both of those are what make success so much sweeter.

Of course the reality of success is the illustration on the right.  At least for me it is.  And I believe it's true for everything in life.  There should be a third illustration with the arrow going inside the bundle, or even to the beginning.  It's easy to give up on a jumble of mess especially when it would be nice to have success in a straight line.

So keep going on your goals for the new year.  Our road will not be a straight one.  We'll hopefully end up in the same place though!
