I have a love/hate relationships with trains. The hatred stems from the fact that they always seem to be going across Franklin Avenue every time I head to the church building. Yet at the same time these inconveniences afford me the opportunity to marvel at these remarkable creations. I love how powerful they are, how one engine can pull thousands of pounds of commerce across the country with smooth fluidity. I love the artful designs that amateur artists decorate the cars with. Here’s what I really admire though: they are constantly moving down the track to their destination.
One of the biggest struggles that an individual will face in making a difference in this world is simply follow-through, staying on the project. I believe that the world is filled with entrepreneurs, innovators, artists and writers that the world will never hear of because they lack the discipline to stay on the track. They get derailed by circumstances, finances or simply a squirrel and never complete the project. To be honest, this has been my own struggle when it comes to writing. I let the ADD kick in and the perceived busyness of my schedule prevent me from growing and using my communication skills.
So what steps can you and I take to get on track?
