Many of us have convinced ourselves that compromise is necessary to achieve our goals, that all of our goals are not attainable so we should eliminate the extraneous, prioritize our desires, and accept less than the moon. ~ Garth Stein in The Art of Racing in the Rain

Imagine the possibilities if collectively we could all truly focus on our goals and help others do the same. This is the time of year when many walk across the stage in cap and gown to document and celebrate their accomplishments. Though the rituals are cherished, we could move forward, in both linear and curved paths, with incremental intrinsic rewards of goal attainment if we recognized the value.
