Full Speed Ahead - "One Inch At A Time"
65Full Speed Ahead - Yet Staying In The Moment.
There is only one way to truly live life and remain in the pursuit of your dreams and goals. That is - "Full Speed Ahead."
Full speed ahead is a must. You must find passion for your dreams and goals and go after them full speed, with all you got to give.
Give your best.
Give your best while constantly learning and re-adjusting your course. Try new ways to accomplish your goals and stay focused ahead to your dreams. There can be no looking back as life is forever forward.
That being said, too many people exaggerate how much they can accomplish in a year and hence, they fall short of their goals. Unfortunately, most people let that disappointment stop them from reaching out and continuing to push. They give up, quit and blame it on destiny.
But we have to push on. Always being true to ourselves and our goals. There is no predetermined destiny, rather a life road filled with choices and consequences for your choices and actions, or lack of actions.
Although it is true we exaggerate how much we can get done in a year, we also under estimate how much can be done in a decade. It is a balancing act. Make your dreams and goals large enough to move you into action but stay focused on just the next step.
Shoot for your dreams but "Live in the moment."
This moment is the only one there is, and it slips by with the passing of every second. That is why I say you must live your life full speed ahead one inch at a time. Be here now.
Learn to enjoy the struggles and disappointments that are certain to happen while pushing towards your dreams and goals. After all, it is this journey through time that everyone shares. This moment unfolding into the next. Your dreams and goals wont happen in an instant, so "live in the now" while pushing towards your objective.
Be open to find the magic in every moment as it passes, because each moment is itself a thing of magic. Learn to LOVE every minute of life.
"Live your life full speed ahead, one inch at a time."

topstuff - Thanks for your comments - much appreciated!
Most people I know ignore the moment while pushing forward and they miss so much moment by moment happiness.
I've been guilty of that too!
AnneShirley - Hey friend - thanks for dropping by!
Live the moments and savour the glories.
I like my goals to be high, so the blood tingles. Fly like an eagle
Hi. The theory is nice, but hard to practice.
MrMarmalade - Yip - aim high enough to have blood tingles.... yet aim today for actions that will lead you to where you want to go.

Wisdom comes as you daily work on living in this manner. It is possible as I am doing it. Yes there are days where struggles are overwhelming - and those are the days you need to do something for yourself as well as something of action that is in your life game plan. You can do way more than you think you can - when you start to take control over your emotions - not bury them - but use them to fuel your desire to boogie and LOVE LIFE. Work at it till it becomes a habit!
Quitting is not an option, I agree. But it doesn't hurt every now and then to drop the speed, contemplate and find the balance. Pushing forward, even if it is inch by inch, we just might forget to ask ourselves if we're still heading into the right direction. If you live in the now, there is no speed, nor is there a lack of it.
Ananta65 - Well put. "if you live in the now there is no speed, nor is there lack of it."
Contemplate and notice where you are, how things are going and choosing an alternate action if results are not happening is a must. That is why I say inch by inch. TOO many people live in either the past or the future- they don't pay attention to the now, thus they miss the magic in the moment. Even going full speed ahead - as long as you are focusing one inch at a time you will end up doing exactly like you said and "there really wont be any speed nor lack of it."
When you work at life one inch at a time....... you will find the secret to living in the now where there is no speed......
"Be open to find the magic in every moment as it passes, because each moment is itself a thing of magic. Learn to LOVE every minute of life."
Thanks for your insight and comment!
I guess it's all perception and interpretation then :) In my view you don't move at all, not even the smallest inch if you (for example) take the time to meditate, pray or contemplate. You simply are. Nothing more, nothing less. There is no motion, there is only now. But, like I said, I guess we're pretty much on the same page; we just use different words to describe it *smile*
Yip Ananta65 - same page my friend - and the more one meditates the more one brings into daily actions the state of meditation...... almost meditation in motion... although nothing beats entering the silence in prayer/meditation with no other thoughts/activities.
Very much appreciate you dropping in again - your wisdom is obvious and comments appreciated.

Great Hub Neil. I'm glad to see others sharing the wisdom as in this piece. It's true we must learn to enjoy the trip but always face forward and keep moving.. Great post!!
Hello Neil, Thank you for a beautiful word this AM. Your writing insured my beliefs and pursuits. It is refreshing to have a reminder placed in front of me. I know the glory of staying present. It is a discipline, a choice. I know the growth that came from time spent running a muck. You are right in the difficult times there will be a silver lining. Keep on. Do not give room to the enemy to edge in . Trust in 'him' that gives life. Thank you for visiting my hubs. I believe you would enjoy my spiritual writings. I am in the club now. I will return. It is wonderful you are united with your beautiful daughter. Praise Him
Hugs
