The Singing Scoutmaster: Achieving A Goal

Have you ever had an assignment or task that was so large that you were overwhelmed with the size of it and didn't know where to begin? When you are faced with such a task, ask yourself this question, "If you had to eat an elephant, how would you approach it?" The answer is simple: One bite at a time. Just like eating an elephant, you would go about doing the big assignment one bite at a time.

Whether it's climbing to the top of a mountain or advancing to the next rank in Scouting, when we're faced with large and complicated task, we should plan our action, get started, and take one step at a time. Sure, we can keep our eye on the prize; but we need to remember that when there's such a long path to travel, we can proceed little by little, step by step, one bite at a time. In this way, with persistence and dedication, eventually we'll achieve our goal.
