Be brave, acknowledge the gap!

Not very long ago, I met someone in my work place which till now I have a lot of respect. From this friend I have learnt many ways of looking and reacting to issues and problems not just in my work but also in life. Taking a quote from him, this is what he said:

"Acknowledge that we have a gap
between where we are now and where we want to go,
we can either do something to close the gap,
and end up achieving our objective or maybe fail short,
or we can do nothing and never find out.
Which path will you choose? "

Too many times, things happen in our working or personal life that we always try to find excusses for failing, or for things that never goes well. Too many people have been trying not to face their problem head on, eventhough they know that it is only a matter of time that the problem will catch up with them.

In life nothing is certain beside death, in the short span of few decades, we can either live to the fullness by trying to achieve our goal or we can pass away with a lot of regrets. The way to try to achieve our goal is to acknowledge that there is always a gap between where we are now and the end we want to achieve. From acknowledgement, we plan and take actions to move towards the direction of our goal. Regardless of how far and how big you have set your goal, most important is that we need to acknowledge the gap between. Plan out the process of closing it.

When we aim for a star, we can at least reach the moon.
