Progress II

In discussing the idea of progress with my friend a new thought was presented
Often people set lofty goals which are good for them
You need to see a big picture in order to attain, whatever you want to attain
At the same time however you need little ones so you can feel successful
ie: I want to own a mansion
If that is the sole focus then with each larger house you buy you run the risk of not appreciating it because you have potential of this thought
"it's nice but it's not a mansion" or something in that vein

The little goals, like "I want to own a larger house on the way to the mansion" are the ones that help us live in the moment. They also help us to measure our successes. In turn they offer us a greater opportunity to be happy for growing.

Or something like that.
