Chasing our goals in life is often the same as hiking a mountain trail.

Staring at the distant mountain peak isn’t going to help you. If you do this, you are just going to smack into a tree or trip over a root. Finding those distant peaks or goals is important at first. You have to know what you want and where you are going. 

After you have chosen your path though. The distant goal is less important. You are on the path you’ll get there. 

You also don’t want to stare at your feet. If you do you won’t see the Bear or other danger ahead. 

Instead, you want to focus 10 feet in front of you. Keep your head up and watch where you are going. Look for the opportunities that arise in front of you. 

Most of the time you won’t even be able to see your destination for the trees around you. But every once in a while, you can glance ahead and make sure you are still heading in the right direction. Once in a while, you can glance at your feet when the footing is treacherous. 

But most of the time keep your eyes on the road ahead, keep going, and your next steps will reveal themselves to you. 

Just keep moving Forward. If you liked this Comment and follow
