Everyday Power

As we approach the middle of January, (already!) - how are we all progressing towards our dreams and wishes for 2012?
I am reminded of a particularly wet, blustery, dark evening a few weeks back, and going on a run with a client.
Any number of reasons could have had us abdondon the outdoors for the relative comfort of an indoor session. But committed to the run we were, and neither flinched in the face of Galway Rain (at this point I share with you a tweet via @micfitzgerald: " Carlsberg don't do rain, but if they did, their R&D department would be in Galway")....
And the rain came, and the gust took our breaths away (literally) and we kept putting one foot in front of the other, and we made our journey from A to B as planned.
As we take on any journey, any change, any new undertaking and decision - the key is this:
Start at A, know your goal or destination, aim for it, step by step move toward it, and you will get there.
When we start a road trip from Galway to Dublin, we can't see the end point with our eyes at that moment. But we know the road we must get onto, we follow the road signs, and mile by mile the road unfurls and brings us towards our destination.
So it is with new resolutions and the like.
Start. And keep going. A little everyday, because every day has Power in it.
