Then, once you reach it you will be able to see a little bit further. Another saying that you might be familiar with is that inch by inch is a cinch; yard by yard can be very hard.

These would be considered short to mid range MEASURABLE checkpoints to keep us motivated and on track to hit the long term goal of black belt. |
