Stretching Your Way to Success
Here's a favorite quote from Tom Hopkins:
"You cannot rest until you set goals that make you stretch"
We all want to get somewhere better than where we're at. We never get there, though, if we refuse to move.

Getting from where we don't want to be to where we want to be requires us to stretch. It requires us to move beyond our comfort zone.

Change requires risk. It may require trying things that are unfamiliar, trusting things that seem mysterious, stretching ourselves beyond where we'd really like to go.

In one sense, it's a paradox; to get where you want to go, you have to go where you'd rather not. In another sense, it's so obvious as to inspire a giant "Duh;" you can't get where you want to go, if you stay exactly where you are.

Take your choice. Then stretch yourself.
Jeff
