JAN 22nd - Building a Snowman

This season I learned a big lesson while building a snowman. I realized that when you first get something started it may seem like you don't know what to do, and the finished result looks distant, if even visible.  But you have a goal. You want a picture with a snowman. Now, this happens with just about anything: college, a career, or your own business. You know what you want, and you get started little by little. Now at times you may lose your vision and you might want to shift strategies to take the easy path. But there is no easy way out. We hear it every time, "You pay the price, you get the prize". Now, that dream can look so distant that you may even consider trying later when "conditions are more favorable". Well, the thing is you have to keep on going until you achieve your aim, no matter what and against all odds, because the moment you give in the snow takes over and erases every single one of  your efforts. Yes. Life gets in the way. But just as long as you fight for the vision you once had and surround yourself with those who can remind you of what you really want to achieve, you're in a good spot. We all experience that feeling when we realize that getting something done is way more difficult than we could have actually imagined. And maybe if we had known how hard it was we would not have even tried. What a blessing ignorance can turn out to be sometimes! 
I also learned that the feeling of victory when you accomplish your goal is not comparable to any other feeling in the world. It is only when we experience the outcome of definite purpose, a burning desire and consistent efforts towards the attainment of a goal, that we realize we are capable of accomplishing just about anything as long as we keep on going.
So here are some pictures of our snowman, the snowman we had been wanting to build since we met 2 years ago. Finally... we can say we've done it!
