Start From Where You Are

distancetraveled2

“We should not judge people by their peak of excellence; but by the distance they have traveled from the point where they started.”  – Henry Ward Beecher

You are not expected to do things you are not capable of, or to travel to places you cannot reach for now. You are not expected to be who you are not.

What is being expected from you is to start from where you are and to do the things within your reach. What is being expected from you is to be the person that you are.

Let today be that day when you start to see what you can do, what step you can take. Don’t be disheartened by the long journey ahead, enjoy the view where you are! If the vision at the end is so pleasing to you, let it inspire you each day as you get closer to your heart’s deepest desires.

The LORD will fulfil that which concerns me;
your loving kindness, LORD, endures forever.
-Psalm 138:8, WEB-BE
