The boundaries of your abilities are set by no one else but yourself, ultimately, and it is up to you when they will be pushed.

There is an equation that I like to use when looking at my life's progress:Current Worth - Past Worth = Progress or Regression

If you have attributes that you could use less productively last year than you can this year (meaning you are more productive), then you have made progress. The opposite equates to regression.

The only excuse for not improving yourself is not taking the time and effort to.

Goals are set in life to enable concentrated and directed effort to be employed toward a desired end. Without goals, it will be easy to derail, and it will also be hard to track progress.

The hardest part about moving on is — not looking back.
