Stop telling people how far they have left to go. Instead tell them how far they’ve come. — © Bob Goff
Stop telling people how far they have left to go. Instead tell them how far they’ve come.
The reason why people give up so fast is because they tend to look at how far they still have to go, instead of how far they have come.
Too far often, Black people are reminded of how far we have come as opposed to how far we can go. In doing this, we sleep on racism.
Take encouragement from how far you've come, not how far you have left to go.
So many people are going to always remember what you do and how you make them feel instead of you telling them this and telling them that. That's why I like to go out and show the work ethic and how I am as a teammate. That's how you become great.
Sometimes we know not where or how far we are going until we stop and think about just how far we have come and why.
I'm sure everyone feels this way, but it's hard to have a proper opinion of yourself or how things are or how you expected them to be or how far removed they are from how you expect them to be. On the one hand, you're extraordinarily grateful and terribly excited, but on the other, I stop and go, "I wonder what the future does hold."
How can you tell if you are draining someone? How far have you gotten into their life? Are they dependent upon you? Are you thinking of them negatively? Does your energy drop when you stop seeing them?
Take pride in how far you've come. Have faith in how far you can go. But don't forget to enjoy the journey.
Remember how far you've come, not just how far you have to go. You are not where you want to be, but neither are you where you used to be.
The ego searches for shortcomings and weaknesses. Love watches for any sign of strength. It sees how far each one has come and not how far he has to go.
We need to tell the far-right and the far-left to go away and have people in the center solve the problem.
History balances the frustration of 'how far we have to go' with the satisfaction of 'how far we have come.' It teaches us tolerance for the human shortcomings and imperfections which are not uniquely of our generation, but of all time.
How far we all come. How far we all come away from ourselves. So far, so much between, you can never go home again. You can go home, it's good to go home, but you never really get all the way home again in your life. ... whatever it was and however good it was, it wasn't what you once had been, and had lost, and could never have again, and once in a while, once in a long time, you remembered, and knew how far you were away, and it hit you hard enough, that little while it lasted, to break your heart.
Who says we can't win the World Cup and the Ashes in the same year? Oh yes we can. It all goes back to my motto in life: Be proud of how far you've come - and have faith in how far you can still go.
Remember how far you've come, not just how far you have to go.
I've been reading The Feminine Mystique by Betty Friedan, which is obviously very dated now but still relevant. It's so interesting to see how far we've come and how far we haven't come with all these myths that people put onto women.
