The Journey

They say that you should never pay attention to how long the journey is, or the enormity of what it takes to accomplish something great. 
I have the exact opposite point of view.
In my pursuits I find that the MORE I'm able to wrap my head around the concept of the ENTIRE journey, and what it takes, even if it is daunting, the more I KNOW what NEEDS to be done. And that knowing is one of the most powerful motivations for me. 
They say, Oh if something seems daunting, ignore that just focus on the little baby steps. Uhhh, ok then, if that's you're attitude that's all you'll ever take... little baby steps, and you won't get very far. If someone is that scared and intimidated by something, I'd have to say that that challenge is not for them. Truly great things are only for those with great heart, spirit and courage. 
The hardest tasks are so enormous its difficult even to get a sense of the big picture,, but if you CAN, that knowing is pure power for so many reasons. For one thing you will never get discouraged because you know that those results only mean its not quite the time for success yet. For me personally it also allows me to feel free to indulge in the art of traveling through the journey, crafting my experience, and picking up whatever I feel like along the way. 

If someone  were to say to me. I want to do X but, "snivel", its soo much work and it seems sooo huge and daunting"(in a whiny voice). Well sorry but those people are just not cut out for that. Men are born with 2 things, life and will. Not all men are created equal, and most aren't born the genetic qualities needed to be great.
