Reading 223: work
Like crossing a wide lake in a small boat, your goals are big for your resources. Pushing too fast wears you out, so give yourself generous timelines and row steadily. Check in often and ask for support early to stay safe.
Money
You want to do more than your income allows. Break big goals into stages and save one step at a time so the boat stays steady. Avoid spending that speeds up only because you compare yourself with others.
People and relationships
Instead of crossing alone, find people to row with you. Sharing your situation honestly brings more help than you expect. Letting each other rest makes it possible to travel far together.
A small habit for this year
Break your big goal into small weekly tasks. Even a small boat reaches the far shore with steady rowing.
