Way Ahead

“No matter how many mistakes you make or how slow your progress you are still way ahead of everyone who isn’t trying.”–Unknown

So simple, yet so true–as are most ideas that truly matter.

I said “simple” rather than “easy” because I’ve learned that many simple yet profound ideas are not always easy to consistently follow.

Also, their very simplicity means they are often overlooked by those who believe that the world’s difficult problems can only be overcome by complicated solutions.

    Such an important reminder Russ. We simply cannot hear this sentiment too many times. The falling down, and the getting up. Constant learning. Thank you for another gem. Hugs, Gina
