Win The Day!

Almost all of us have heard the story about the tortoise and the hare.

While there are things to be said about getting somewhere quickly, the road to life is really a journey.  It’s that journey that makes us who we are.

The first thing to realize though is that the tortoise doesn’t go anywhere until he sticks his neck out.

Long Neck

What things have you seen and not achieved because you were too afraid to stick out your neck?

The Tortoise has his protective shell and the first sign of danger, he shrinks back into the protective “comfort zone” and doesn’t get anywhere.

Beware the comfort zone.

While it may provide you with a sense of security, being in the comfort zone in the middle of a crowded highway is not a good place to be.

Once the tortoise sticks out his neck and starts moving though, it’s through it’s constant steady pace that wins him the race.

Persistence and consistency will win the day every time.

It’s doing those little things every day which will help you achieve your plans

as well.

Which one are you more alike?

The tortoise or the hare?

Which one would serve you better in achieving your goals?

Think about it.

“In the confrontation between the stream and the rock, the stream always wins – not through strength, but through persistence.”
