It's not too hard to think of all the things I need to accomplish to achieve this goal. In fact, there is such a long list of things that lie between here and there that it makes it seem like a daunting challenge. Is it really? Probably not. However, I know myself and anything that screams challenge is terrifying and is usually met with a certain kind of laziness. If things go as they normally do as I make strides to find my way, I'll probably end up actually achieving the goal sooner rather than later. I'm not lazy in the traditional sense; it's procrastination that makes the situation more difficult than it needs to be. So, I guess I'll have to put the whole procrastination thing on my to-do list to fix things... but I'll save that for another day. In any case, I really have a lot to accomplish, but I never have enough time to do it in an orderly way. Usually everything falls on me at once, regardless of whether I committed to it beforehand or not. Even so, I have many people behind me who have expectations as high as mine. This is more motivating than anything else, especially since I owe a great debt to some of these people
