Perception or Reality?

In a conversation at one of our weekly meetings to discuss our projects, Cat and I got into a discussion on goal setting, and what this entails. The gist of the conversation asked the question: Is it your perception of your abilities, or just the reality of hard work that determines your success, and is there any "cosmic" energy that helps you achieve goals.  A deep conversation for a Sunday afternoon at Cracker Barrel, but these are the things that come up sometimes after eating too much chicken fried everything. We revisit the discussion in this episode, and give a short update on the things we have happening currently.
