Close the Gap

Goal setting and achievement can be pretty frustrating at times.  Often we fall short and useless thoughts will enter our minds about how pointless it might be to even try.  However, please understand that it is incredibly important to continue to set goals, do our best, and somehow keep ourselves from being overwhelmingly disappointed if we doesn’t achieve them 100%.  Today in my reading, I came across a good analogy.  

It goes like this…
“A teacher, trying to explain what a theory is, asked this question: “If you take a letter half the distance to a mailbox and stop, then start over going half the remaining distance and stop, then repeat the process over and over, theoretically will you ever really get to the mailbox?” 

One bright student said, “No, but you’ll get close enough to mail the letter.” 
We crave perfection, but we are told we don’t have to be perfect before we die.  We just have to keep moving forward, trying and trying and trying... and trying again.  
Keep setting those goals, you don’t have to be perfect.  Your goals don’t even have to be perfect!  Just keep working to close the gap.
