In Search of Success and How To Measure It
If success builds on success,
Is it not best to measure how far we have come?
Than how far we have to go?
Looking too far ahead tends to do my head in.
Two steps forward and one step back seems like progress to me.
Is it not best to adjust goals upwards,
Than to scale them down?
I don't believe I will live to reach my full potential,
As the sky's the limit for that,
Which makes adjusting upwards seem logical,
Don't you think?
