Quite so life is like that we struggle with the simple things and aim for things beyond that sometimes we should just look around and enjoy our reality. Not that it is a bad thing to have ambitions and goals but taking a break to smell the roses and put one foot in front of the other can be important too or reminiscing on the past and learning from that to pave the future.

The more i go forward, the more I recognize the value of living without a goal... aside from simply making the most of each moment that comes along.

Keeping track of the big picture is good,keeping track of the carrot in life and all is part of the things to look forward to as we keep living, but sometimes life is not that easy and it is also important to sacrifice your short term to enjoy yourself and have time for the important things in the future instead of living day by day and bill to bill. It's' not easy to really enjoy success at some points in life.
That does not mean though that one should not take time to smell the roses

Well one way to think of the challenge part is a Rocket or Airplane the amount of energy it takes to get business going is so much more for a little reward at the beginning.
95% of your fuel for example is spent on that runway but not going fast enough to gain traction.
Once up in the air the fuel is hardly used at all but going six hundred miles an hour
You need the airplane at 100%
The Hardest part is taking off
An Airplane is only designed to set off on 100% Throttle
It does not take off in first 100 Yards but it’s not until 500 yards that it takes off.
Need to throw it at 100% Throttle to get your life out of the valley of despair and by putting the time in now to be lazy later you can truly be free.
