A Bridge Named Discipline

Spanning the Mississippi River

(Quincy Bayview Bridge Spanning Mississippi River - Quincy IL to West Quincy MO)

“Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishments.” ~ Jim Rohn

My “best trip in 2009” was crossing a rather invisible bridge -the bridge between a goal and the accomplishment.  I chose a goal early in the year, a goal I knew was absolutely impossible for me to reach, then I worked and worked and worked and quit a few times and then started over and worked some more. And — finally reached that goal a couple of days ago.

Oh, sweet joy! Hard work can be a really good thing!

(I was inspired to do the best of 2009 challenge, answering a “What is the best ____ of 2009” question every day in December. Thanks to Gwen Bell.)
