Topic: Establish A Measure Of Progress

How far you walk down the street is a measure of progress if you know how far you have walked. Using a measure of progress, like keeping track of the time you have been walking, can tell you how far you have come and how far you have to go to reach your destination. If you have no way of measuring how far you have walked, you also have no way of telling how far you have to go. In so many of our daily tasks, we do these tasks but do not establish a clear measure of our progress. When we have no measure of our progress we end up thinking we are doing a meaningless task. Even if we know where we want to go, we still need to know how far away we are from our destination. To reach our maximum potential and make maximum progress every day, we must establish a measure of progress in everything we do. For example, we would use a yardstick to measure feet, yards, or miles if we wanted to measure distance. However, much of our daily life is constructed in such a way as to seem immeasurable. We do many things each day seeming to defy measurements. We can easily get caught up in not having any measure of progress. However, one of our most productive activities is to establish a measure of progress in all we do and then set about measuring how far we have come and how far we have to go.
