“I Can’t Believe I Ate The WHOLE Thing!”
Short and sweet POV today: Don’t bite off more than you can chew!
There’s an old expression (someone remind me who said it) that a man’s reach should exceed his grasp, else what’s a heaven for? While I think this is true in the main, as I said last week, I do think goals should be attainable. With lots of work, perhaps, but within reach. Except for those truly lofty ideas we might expect to receive only after reaching whatever afterlife we might aspire to.
And that’s it. Aim high, but not impossibly so. Reward yourself for each goal you accomplish, and most importantly, never give up. Makes sense to me.
NOTE: BTW, I answered my own question. The quote is from a poem by Robert Browning, just in case anyone else was wondering. 😀

Good advice, Marcia. “Eating the whole thing” really can make you sick–mentally and physically.

That’s my 3-year old grandson, looking like he thoroughly regrets eating the giant ice cream cone! 🙂

Back in the day when I was attending college, my economic geography teacher used to tell us, “Aim for the sky, but if you can not reach it, take the ceiling! How about that!

Couldn’t resist sharing that photo of my grandson. Every time I look at it, I think of that old commercial (I Can’t Believe I Ate the WHOOOOOOLE Thing.) And it seemed to fit with one more reminder about goals. 😀
