Will and way

I wonder if there's a handbook on how to pace yourself when you are working on something.

Should you kill out yourself till you arrive at your destination? Should you take small steps? Should you try only ten times and then stop after? Should you try twenty times?

Should you plan for two years, try for another five? Or should you do the reverse? Should you keep on planning and trying?

Should you seek advice or just go alone?

Is there one way? Or is it just one will? How many ways are there? Can you go it on just your will alone? Can you borrow someone else's will?

There's so many questions when you embark on your own journey, trying to do your own thing, your own business, be your own boss. How do you keep motivating yourself when there's no end in sight?

There's so many traps and missteps. There's so many things that are not certain. It makes even trying seem so daunting.

But just think. If no one ever tried and kept trying when things fell apart, then we would have no one to admire.

And wouldn't that be boring?

Maybe, in some years to come, people will talk about you and the risks you took, the barriers you broke down, and the standards you set.

Maybe.

Maybe they will.

Wouldn't that be something?
