End of the year necessarily brings thoughts, plans, goals, dreams for the new year. It is so for many, and I, too, get caught up in the fiery frenzy of looking forward. I have good, ambitious plans for the new year, and the drive to work toward them. And, I have a formidable measure of doubt, that I know better than to dismiss. If I’m not careful, that doubt can transform into a bulwark against progress, becoming a veritable guardian of any falling short on my part. I’ve learned that the best fight against this obstacle is to see it for what it is, and keep moving forward.
