A couple of weeks ago, my client and I were going through a PowerPoint on Staying Motivated. One of my slides posed this question:
What is your motivational mantra?
My client indicated that at that moment she couldn’t think of one, so we continued. In a little bit, she let me know that she’d thought of one — one her dad had taught her years ago. It was good! I shared with her mine, one I discovered when I was a little girl snooping around in my Grandmother’s school books:
Hitch Your Wagon to a Star by Ralph Waldo Emerson
and the other, a poem called Myself by Edgar Guest.
Anyway, here’s the one my client passed along to me:
“Yard by yard, life is hard. Inch by inch, life’s a cinch.”
