Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end; then stop.
—Lewis Carroll (Courtesy of http://www.lewiscarroll.org)
…It is almost always our own decision to deviate from our path. Remember to set guideposts along the way to gauge your forward movement, and then simply travel from where you are at now to the very next guidepost on your map. Repeat this enough times, and you will achieve at your desired destination.
