"You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth... Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness; For even as He loves the arrow that flies, so He loves also the bow that is stable." -- Kahlil Gibran

Progress

"Every day you may make progress. Every step may be fruitful. Yet
there will stretch out before you an ever-lengthening, ever-
ascending,ever- improving path. You know you will never get to the
end of the journey. But this, so far from discouraging, only adds to
the joy and glory of the climb."

Sir Winston Churchill (1874 - 1965)

It is the journey and not the ultimate destination that determines the richness and value of our lives. Each day presents new lessons and challenges. Opportunities abound. Cooperation, taking risks, and keeping an open mind allow us to embrace these opportunities fully. The end result is always progress towards a better way of life. Inability or refusal to compromise and cooperate halts progress and diminishes hope.

Progress reminds us that in order to continue to have a fruitful journey, we must get out of our own way. Often we barricade our path with resistance created by self-doubt, fear of consequences, and a
refusal to try something different. Slow and steady wins the race, today take small steps towards your goals, ensuring you do what is necessary to keep your path clear. Embrace change and challenge, and you will find your travels more rewarding.
