Within Reach

Are your hopes and dreams within reach?  If you answered yes, then don't delay in your pursuit of them.  Move toward what you want with focus and confidence.  If you answered no, then determine what you need to do to reach them.  Put yourself in a position to extend your reach in multiple directions.  You may not always be able to use the most obvious approach.  Consider different routes that will lead you to your desired finish line.

• Reach up to expand your vision.   When you reach up, you tend to look up as well.  You may not be able to fully grasp everything you see at first. However, as you continue to stretch, you will get a better grip on what you will encounter at the next level.

• Reach out to gain information.  Ask questions that will open doors.  Reach out to share information.  Give answers that build bridges that connect you to problem solvers.  Effective communication can establish your foundation and credibility.

• Reach down to find motivation when things don't go according to the plan.   Encouragement can be found beneath failure and disappointment.  Reach down to lift the lesson from the loss.  The floor (bottom) is the launching pad to the ceiling (top).
