What's a Truth Pick you ask?
A Truth Pick is a short, sharp commentary designed to extract 'Truth' from a Quote, pithy saying, epigram or graffiti. I send these out about 2-3 times per week. My goal is to see if they strike a chord with anyone and if they do, to continue generating them.
We are judged by what we finish,
not what we start.

The determination to achieve is fueled by the knowledge that we can. Without believing we make a difference, even the strongest get run down. Both sprints and marathons require bright ribbons to mark the end of the race.
In a perfect world, the heavens would announce every achievement with a herald of trumpets. In the world we have to work with, we must blow our own horns, even if we're both trumpeter and audience.
Every achievement, from finishing a tiny scrap of writing, to placing the call we've been avoiding, to the completion of that six month project, is worthy of noting and celebrating. Whether it is a grin of satisfaction, a mark ticked on a list or the dance of joy performed in solitude; every celebration honours past efforts and prepares us for the next activity.
We measure distances with a ruler, time by the ticks of a clock and small steps of progress by tasks scratched off our list.
