Perseverance is not a long race; it is many short races one after the other. – Walter Elliot

 
With long range goals, you must complete numerous small goals to reach your desired destination. You persevere through setbacks as well leap forward through successes. Determination must be strong as you endure through your traveled path. Have resolute dedication but don’t overwhelm yourself – take breaks between events to refocus, relax & reward yourself.
