One block at a time

A long time ago in 5th grade, I got left at the playing field after a little league game with no ride home.  Everyone else just drove off and left me.   I had no idea exactly how to get home but I knew the general direction, so I started walking. It took a few hours but I made it home and nobody missed me. Along the way I got extremely tired and discouraged. I played a game with myself -- I only had to walk to the next corner and then I would reevaluate my situation. And then at that corner, I would decide to only walk to the next corner. In that manner I finally made it home -- by walking one block at a time.

I have used this technique to accomplish goals for the rest of my life.  It could be summarized as:

"One block at a time"
