How do you eat an elephant?

I feel like I give up way too easily! You have a magnificent idea or a goal you want to achieve and set out to climb that mountain with enthusiasm and zeal. You take the first few steps feeling so full of excitement about your new venture. Not long into the journey, you make the mistake of looking up. Although you knew the size of the mountain when you started, you would have hoped that the top of the mountain would seem closer to you. In fact, the destination seems further away!! 

At times, I feel like I try and I try but I am nowhere near to reaching my goal. And can I be honest? Sometimes I give up, not knowing that I was much more closer to my destination than I thought. It’s the big dreams that I have, as well as the daily routines. Its my dreams of a PhD as well as cooking and cleaning after a long day at work. But I know if I give up, I’ll be further away than where I would be if I kept on going. How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time. And if we keep on going, that elephant will soon be devoured! You’re achieving your goals, one step at a time.
