How you pursue one thing is how you tend to pursue all things. As with anything, we are given to consistency in our habits. Young man, whether you are approaching a girl or some personal goal, look for an underlying similarity in form to learn from.
As for my next pursuit, it’s not as important to choose the 'end-all, be-all,' but rather to focus on correcting and refining my manner of getting to whatever that may be. And when one's pursuit form is lacking, the worst thing to do is stop practicing it altogether.
Oftentimes, the best result from vanguard actions is the discovery of significant initial resistance. This very well may indicate that you’ve stumbled upon a stronghold in the vicinity of valuable ground worth defending—and thus also worth conquering! Only by keeping onward after such preliminary skirmishes will you put yourself in a position to fight your life’s decisive battles.
Friends, to do even one thing better can upend the course of your whole life going forward. Something small, honestly worked through and achieved today, could be worth more than you possibly know. Some necessary honing of your gait could finally angle you down the path you were always meant to go…
Which is to say, trust in your fate enough to be comfortable asking for more. Even those who know us best still appreciate when we give them a Christmas list.
