Now is the time to stretch for what you want | February 16, 2009

Here is a great quote to start your week: “Ah, a man’s reach is to exceed his grasp, or what’s a heaven for?”

That is from a poem by 19th century poet Robert Browning. Don’t aspire for what is easily right in front of you. Go for the thing that is just outside your grasp. If you stretch, you just might get it.

Today’s economic climate is causing a lot of people to withdraw and refuse to stretch because they are afraid of losing. But stretching will be the only surefire way to get us out of this mess the country is in. Playing it safe won’t work. Aspiring higher will.

So what will you stretch for this week?
