Measures of Progress

On my journey, seeking my guides Searching for signposts that measure my strides My big goals and dreams look so far away I need anchors that won't lead me astray Our typical measures, in dollars and time Provide no guidance, along this climb The number of meetings, wow with deeds These are my measures, these are my seeds Measures of Progress, my eye on the ball Keep me going when I hit that wall It's progress that matters, the steps in this game That generates wins, the fortune and fame Finding tactics on my personal quest That set me apart from all of the rest What's measured is managed, what's managed is done Tracking my progress, that's part of the fun Measures of Progress, my eye on the ball Keep me going when I hit that wall It's progress that matters, the steps in this game That generates wins, the fortune and fame Each moment is growth, each moment it seems I get closer to the life of my dreams Through early struggles, through highs and lows My endgame in sight in the paths I chose Measures of Progress, my eye on the ball Keep me going when I hit that wall It's progress that matters, the steps in this game That generates wins, the fortune and fame
