The Gap
Mind the gap
the distance between you and what you want
but don’t obsess
don’t fall in and get stuck
as though it’s a moat or a well that can swallow you up
take stock of that distance, measure it and make a note
of the materials you’ll need to build the bridge
that will take you right over that gap
and don’t let yourself forget
that building a bridge to cross that gap will cost you
in time
and effort
and money
and sometimes there will be setbacks, do-overs that increase those costs
but you’ll have planned for this
so you won’t give up
and eventually, you’ll see
the light at the end of the tunnel
your goal on the horizon
and you’ll know that you made it happen
you’re making it happen
you will continue to do so
and somewhere along the line
when you take the time to look behind you
you’ll realize that no longer do you
mind that gap
