First say to yourself what you would be; and then do what you have to do. –Epictetus
This quote resonates with me this week. I’ve been planning out the coming year’s homeschooling curriculum lately. I’m trying to attack it from the standpoint not of “what comes next?” but of “what do I need to cover to provide my boys with the tools to become the men I know they can be?” I’m looking for areas to encourage and ways to do that. I’m finding that it’s definitely easier and more comfortable to just move to the next step. I appreciate, then, this reminder to stop and remember to first determine and focus on what the ultimate goal is.
Yes, sometimes the most powerful tool in achieving something is simply setting and/or recognizing the goal.
