Envision the End Result

By Glennel Hardy

This past week I had the amazing opportunity to do some light hiking in the Smoky Mountains.  Hiking has always and continue to be a challenge for me, but the opportunity of the view at the very end drives me. It’s safe to say that we have been in a point in our lives, that the challenge was rigorous, but once we completed it the end result was extraordinary.

As I do in hiking I challenge myself to focus on the end result in most things that I do. It’s very tempting to succumb to our obstacles, but it takes a strategic vision to focus on the beauty of reaching the result we want. This is an everyday challenge for me, and we should always find something to aim for, something to accomplish and complete.

Keep your eye on what the end result may be, in order to overcome the obstacles that we face as we continue to move forward.  If there are no obstacles, it takes the fun out of capturing what we would desire to achieve.
