On Challenges

“Difficulties mastered are opportunities won.”
– Winston Churchill

Maxims for Mavericks

Very rarely does success happen at the pace we desire – especially as we take the initial steps into a new year.

We quickly realize that foundational work and patience that must follow is much easier discussed than applied. The wait between where we are and where we want to be appears to grow heavier with each passing day.

But the Maverick moves steadily ahead with an uncanny sense of tranquility founded on a simple, yet liberating, distinction:

It’s not the absence of what we want that wears us down, it’s the idea of not yet possessing what we want when we want it that causes fatigue.

The wait may be mandatory, but the weight is optional.

– Kent Healy, Maxims for Mavericks
