I've done it – I have completed a goal I first set my sights on more than five years ago. Since then I've done a lot of living. The kind of real living one does when one is um, “thirty something.” I have had real adult problems and faced them as an adult and survived to be the stronger for it. I won't bore you with my goal or with my problems. I will tell you that I followed through and did it, and on the back end of the trial, climbing out of the valley, it feels very good. So, many thanks to God and to the friends and family placed in my life. And, a pat on the back for myself. More than five years of hard is work now showing tangible results.

I have a little sign at the entrance to my office. It says, “Trust the process.” One foot in front of the other. Time will pass whether or not you use it. Where do you want to be five years from now?
