It's a long way to the top

It takes decades for sea turtles to reach sexual maturity. Lesson - good things can take a long time to develop. Yesterday, I read this article about a woman who completed her college degree in 19 years by doing one class a semester. 19 years is a long time to continue doing something, and I'm sure she had some doubts along the way.

Most things in life seem to boil down to parts.A- the decision to actually go through with something. B- seeing it through. There are more variables, but a good deal of the time the obstacles between the start and finish can be overcome. The decision to actually do something is a big hurdle. It's easy to talk ourselves out of something that will be difficult and long. Seeing it through is just usually a matter of working through the problems faced along the way.

Admittedly, most of my problems start by never getting past point A. Careers, women, purchasing a dog are all big decisions that require getting over a hump. Most of the time I probably roll back down. Crawl back into my teeny shell, and stay in my comfort zone.
