How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time– that’s what I keep learning 🙂

It’s  4  : 09 PM on day 997 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to pray, brush my teeth,  read Deuteronomy 14,   publish my Disability of the Day feature,  tweet, Facebook and email about my campaign – my dad made a $30 donation today (thank you daddy)    – take off my dirty jacket and t-shirt and put on a clean t-shirt, stretch my hamstrings,  practice sitting up straight to strengthen my core muscles,  feed myself All Bran Flakes and a peanut butter sandwich for breakfast,  pitch my story to the Huffington Post – any sort of media attention makes me acutely uncomfortable but when you’re doing something of a philanthropic nature it is essential to get as many eyes on your project as possible so i’m asking bloggers to write blog posts about my campaign and making myself available for print interviews (if you’re a blogger and would like to write a blog post about my campaign email me) – spend time outside   and  practice typing with both hands.

Today I realized yet again that everything in life is a process someone doesn’t just decide ok I’m going to run a ninety-six kilometre marathon tomorrow they first run five kilometres, then ten kilometres and eventually they are able to run the ninety-six kilometre marathon in the same way I think all of us should break our big goals up into smaller goals.  Do you set huge goals and expect to achieve them within days?
