I am The Tortoise

I am not sure if I can succeed at anything, until I've succeeded at it.

Isn't life that way for most of us? Some people KNOW they can do something, they BELIEVE it will happen. Then there are the rest of us.

I am not the hare. I am the tortoise.

I have one thing inside me that is stronger than my doubt that I can succeed. That is my stubbornness and my refusal to believe that I can't do something that other people before me have done.

This is my commitment to myself and to my family.

I have had doubters around me at various times in my life. Those have included friends and family. I have always proven them wrong. The power of stubborn.

This is how I live. This is what I do. I commit to spending a certain amount of time every day pursuing my goals. I don't have a lot of time, but I will work every day.

Every day I practice my instrument, I exercise, I run my physical business, I spend time with my wife, kids and pets. Every day lately I spend at least a little time on WA.

Life isn't about being a weekend warrior.

It's about being the tortoise.

What can the average man or woman achieve one small step at a time? Well, we shall see.
