The blackberries of life




I was picking blackberries in my garden this morning and I noticed that the biggest juciest ones were much more difficult to reach than the smaller ones.  I knew these would be tastier, but getting to them required me to reach through a few thorns and make a bit more effort.  I know it’s a bit of a leap,  but my mind was wandering and it got me to thinking about how goals are like blackberries.  The hardest goals to reach  are more challenging, take more effort and more time, but the rewards are greater and more satisfying. There is nothing wrong with setting and reaching smaller goals, we do it all the time. However, sometimes we need to aim higher and get out of our comfort zone to reap the greatest rewards 

Step off your stilettos encourages you to set juicy goals for yourself and can help you achieve them.
