When you reach your ambitious goals, it matters that you take the time to admire the view and appreciate all you have accomplished. Of course, the path to your ambitious goals will be a lot nicer if you take time all the way along to appreciate the view from exactly where you are.
What does the view look like from this moment of your life?
“You never know what’s around the corner. It could be everything. Or it could be nothing. You keep putting one foot in front of the other, and then one day you look back and you’ve climbed a mountain.”
― Tom Hiddleston
What have you looked back at and been surprised that you accomplished?
Sometimes small acts can cast a surprisingly long shadow: kind words that are remembered, a little encouragement that builds confidence, a hand of support just when it is most needed.
What do you keep doing without seeing results, hoping that it will cast a long shadow?
“The three great essentials to achieve anything worthwhile are, first, hard work; second, stick-to-itiveness; third, common sense.”
― Thomas A. Edison
What achievement are you proud of?
There are times when stubborn determination is not such a great idea. Driving a train faster toward broken tracks is simply a recipe for disaster. Persistence is not staying on the track toward broken rails. Persistence is finding another way across the river.
When have you stayed the course by changing course?
