The Lessons We Learn

February 28, 2005

It’s astounding how many times one can learn the same lesson, and see it fresh and new. A long time ago, while listening to the audio program of Stephen Covey’s 7 HABITS OF HIGHLY EFFECTIVE PEOPLE, I remember hearing the good doctor saying that all the habits were like spiral staircases unto themselves. Once you met with success on the lower levels, through your success you’d be transported up to the same material at a different level. Miraculously, he’s right.

I’m sitting here writing my book. Yes indeedy. After far too long procrastinating about it, I’m doing the grinding stuff and getting all these thoughts down and collected. But you know what? It’s the same lesson as learning to run. It’s the same thing that gets me out the door in the early morning to hit the gym.

Just start. And then, dig in and push. Keep gaining ground a little bit at a time, and believe in the fact that at some point, you’ll hit a beautiful piece of momentum.

Oh, the things we learn anew each day.

(P.S. Does everyone else in the US have this stupid cold, with the fever/dizzy and the throat thing?)
