Up, up, up the Ziggurat lickety split
zig·gu·rat(zĭg'ə-răt')
n.
A temple tower of the ancient Assyrians and Babylonians, having the form of a terraced pyramid of successively receding stories.
[Akkadian ziqqurratu, temple tower, from zaqāru, to build high.]
So as I was saying, I read something the other night which made me take a very deep breath and a long hard look at myself.
I've known for a long time that I needed to make changes, I've been in the doldrums far too long. Most of what was going wrong for me is starting to come right (you know money problems, kid problems, the usual stuff) but the other night I realised that all this does is bring me back to where I was, it doesn't move me on....
So I thought to myself "OK I have a mountain to climb, I need to set myself some goals" that sounded kinda strenuous (lol) so then I thought "No, not a mountain - a ziggurat. Not goals - steps. Some will be small, some large. Some I won't achieve but, when that happens, I'll just take a different step. There are many different ways up the ziggurat and I will find my way to the top..... I'm already working on the first step....
Pardon? Oh the title? Well it's something Rimmer used to say in Red Dwarf. He was always seeking greatness but remained one of life's failures because he never actually did anything, he waited for greatness to come to him... sadly, it never did.

Good luck. But remember ziggurats are highly susceptible to earthquake damage ;)
