July Thought of the Month

"Accept the challenges so that you can feel the exhilaration of victory."

~ George S. Patton

Go for the day-to-day victories. Winter is not my favorite season. I understand the necessity of snow and enjoy watching it fall, but the rest? Yet I don't mind shoveling it because when I stand on my porch and gaze on the cleared driveway and sidewalks I take great satisfaction from the accomplishment. When you're facing something that must be done, especially if you don't want to tackle it, focus on what it will feel like once it's off your To Do List, not on the elements of the task that make it easier to procrastinate.
