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 that seem to defy measurements that 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.
